Without The Ones I Love

Breathing in and breathing out
It’s hard to breath when I’m in doubt

I don’t think I’ll go home will I stay here forever
I feel so alone what if they say never

I miss everyone who used to be in my life
I really want to cry but I’m pretending I’m alright

I don’t feel well I wish I could press rewind
And go back in time to the past

Undo everything that I did was wrong
I’m crying right now I guess I couldn’t stay strong

Never starting to talk back never starting to fight
Starting to gang bang although I knew it wasn’t right

Now I’m by myself with no one around
I’ve fallen to my knees begging to keep standing my ground

I’m breathing too hard and my heart is beating fast
You can hear it ticking I wonder when it will tick the last

I can’t live alone
I miss my grandmother and her pleasant tone

I only talk about her now when before I didn’t treat her well
I feel stupid for not being there for her and I don’t want her
to know the pain and sadness I dwell

She was always there and will be just like before
And for me I’m going to stop cause this can go on
forever but now my heart is scared forever torn.
