trying not to be worthless was the best i could do,
when only perfection was good enough for you.

when the world is falling down and you feel so alone,
when you turn around and find that nobody's home.
when even in the light of day you feel cold,
when nothing in the words can light up your soul.

your hands shiver because they lost the warmth of the one,
you know emptiness is all you have after it's all said and done.
you can't find the right words to say because nothing will do,
nothing in this world can bring me back to you.

and we won't go down,
all i know is that the fear has got to go,
this time around.
