your way out

Im so tired of breathing

Im so tired of sleep.

Im so tired of lying

But honesty is cheap.

Im sick of these memories

Im sick of the dark.

Im sick of my every flaw

But everyone is scarred.

Baby I believed you

When you said it would be okay

So I didn’t see you

Slowly fade away

Im sorry I wasn’t there

To hold back your tears

Sometimes I do get lonely

And sink into my fears.

My eyelids bear a message;

Theyre carved with your last words.

It kills me every time I blink

But it’s no more than I deserve.

I should have seen it sooner

I should have held your hand

Instead of spreading my fingers

And letting you sink like sand.

But like a cliché it’s much too late

Because now youre gone

Im flipping through these pictures

And lifting my voice in song.

The truth, it never sets you free

It traps you like a cage

Id call it impossible to get out

But it seems you found a way.

And I miss you.
