The music's up on high
And the books are all complete
No matter what I try
I'm still suffocating
The nights are never long enough
My days are too empty
I talk to you all the time
But still you just don't see
The fear that's in my eyes
The hate that's in my heart
The love that just won't work
They're all tearing me apart
I just want to let go
To leave everything behind
And I want to let you know
All that's on my mind
It started out with family, like all things do
We're turning on each other, what else is new?
My dad moved out, one of my sisters too
Feeling left and abandoned, alone in my room
The music is up higher
And the books have been reread
No matter what I try
You still act like I'm dead
And nights are never long enough
My days are too empty
I talk to you all the time
But still you just don't see
I want to run away, to see who comes along
To find out where I stand, I just need to take the fall
Look down on my phone
No messages, no calls
Should I text you or not tonight I wonder
I put my head in my hands as the tears start to fall
Felling left and abandoned without you here
The fear that's in my eyes
The hate that's in my heart
The love that just won't work
They're tearing me apart
But the music is never loud to drown out the world outside
There aren't enough stories to get lost in; transported to another time
The nights I spend alone are to frequent, too short
My schedule is never full, so here's my last resort
I'll just keep sitting on this bed and wait
Till the tears are no more
And when the music stops playing
I'll be dead on the floor
