I tried to help you up.

I gave you all the light inside me.

I toughened my heart up,

So that the darkness wouldn't blind me.


You said every word I poured in,

It had to count for something.

But it was all for nothing.

I swear it was all for nothing.


I gave you all my energy,

But it went right down the drain.

Now I have nothing left,

And I'm the one stuck in the rain.


Every prayer I prayed.

Every night I stayed.

You threw it all away.

I swear you threw it all away.


I don't know what I've become.

I can't get back what I put in.

I lost myself, what have I learned?

To never help you again.


I thought we'd come so far,

Now we're right back at the start.

And I'm the one who's torn apart.

I swear I'm the one who's torn apart.


I let this place consume me,

But now there's nowhere to run.

I say I never have regrets,

But I wish I'd never come.


I cry out, no one hears.

I've wasted all my tears.

I was better off on my own.

I swear I was better off all alone.
