I set fire to the rain, watch it burn,
Crawling my way through the pain
Clawing the ground where you walked
desperately trying to erase every trace of you, wherever we walked
Every memory, so I pluck at my hair,
Cause as much physical damage, at least for a while the pain will be only be physical
So for a while I won’t think of you
Knees tucked into my chest, I am rocking back and forth
When that is no longer working, I get up, and pace to and fro
Now my floor is cracked, my wall paint gone
I am leaving destruction in my wake
Because silly me, I let me fall for you
See you never gave me a choice
One look into those eyes, and I was lost forever
Now I have burned all your pictures,
But pictures of you remain, when I sleep I dream of you, when I am
awake, my imagination is running wild
Down memory lane, every part of me is clamoring for you
I am imagining she is waiting for you
And yet I can’t help myself, I am looking for you
My heart is screaming for you
So I run to you beg you to remember me
Beg you to undo this damage you have caused
You stand, unmoved, your eyes shuttered cold slits of ice
I am on the other side, my arms cold and empty
My heart bleeding needlessly endlessly, watching my lifeline snatched away
Cruel fate doesn’t care
This side of you, I never knew
I want to touch your face, so old and familiar, my lifetime dreams
hidden there
But that is now forbidden me
I turn away, and run, run as fast and far as I can
Dive into a lake of ice, oblivion I crave desperately
Right now, I’d do anything to not think
You brought me back to life
And took the life away
