She don’t love me no more
Somehow I just know it
It’s driving me insane
Me without her is just too much pain
I wasn't prepared for this
Now all I have is memories on which to reminisce
I can't help but think that this was all a big lie
I just couldn't believe it when she said goodbye
The pain will always be here and never go away
It’s here to stay
For good and forever
I just wish we could get back together
She's gone and I feel so wronged
I let these feelings get too strong
What do you do when your life is without emotion or feeling?
And you feel a hole in your being
It’s really my fault though
I just sat quiet as the signals started to grow
There were all kinds of signs
I just couldn't read between the lines
She wouldn’t hug me or kiss me
When I was gone, she didn't miss me
The “I love you’s” stopped
And the calls diminished
I can’t tell you how many pills I’ve popped
Since she said we were finished
I never thought it would actually be over
I didn’t plan for this
Life is just full of twists
One of 'em being me sitting here with slit wrists
I wish I could have kept that lady
But now that she’s gone my life seems real shady
As the room grows dark and I grow cold
It’s as if I am a hundred years old
Cuz I feel so weak
I watch the blood start to leak
Across my arm and onto the floor
I feel the tears trickle down my cheeks
They contain the pain of all the past weeks
As I slowly die I reflect on all thing’s past
I thought she was different and that we would last
But I guess I was wrong
Cuz we didn’t last for very long
I think of everything we’ve done
And of how many times I thought she was the one
How the hell could I be so dumb?
I knew if it ended someone would get hurt
And have blood on their T-shirt
And now we find out it’s me
Don’t you see?
She meant everything more than life itself
Now I sit on the shelf
Along with everybody else
My life has come to the pointed edge of a razor blade
The lights start to fade
I lay here in eternal rest
As my life comes to a hush
This is my last breath
Cuz these things were just too much
