why
the beat of your hearts lingers
i cant breathe
the words leave your lips and I am cold
wandering lost and bold i take the failure as my own
leave me alone
leave me alone
I just want to be lost
but yet you are there to fish me out of the darkness
I am unknown to what you want but yet you are all that lies.
if you killed me now I would know peace
but it is not what you want
if you could do be the favor
leave me alone
