Hope you like it and feel free to advise! [bodytext] => You look at me with those glassy eyes
And I know you're lost somewhere in your head,
The muddled up dysfunctional mess that
You'll stay caged in until you're dead.

I can't hold your hand now that you've let go,
Because I promised myself that I wouldn't
allow you to drag me from the streelight's glow
And into your dark dead-end alleyway.

I swore to the sky I'd find the real you,
Even if it meant ripping you to shreds
And sewing you back together again
With a million yards of gossamer thread.

I'll be damned if I'm the first to run
Because you know I'm childish like that.
But sometimes I wish I could erase you, be done
With the smell of petrol fumes and cigarettes.

One morning I almost fooled myself
Into believing that you didn't exist
But then you coughed and spluttered in your bed
And my bliss dissolved with the morning mist.

Now you've jumped off the edge with my heart strings
Still attached and I'm praying they won't snap
But you just keep
Fall,
Fall,
Falling...

God when I remember trying to save you,
When I think of those nights when I asked
The stars to give me answers or just kill me
So I wouldn't have to hide behind the mask.

You're as bottomless as the pit you're dropping through,
The oblivion you've been coaxed into,
So I'll severe these strings. I'll let you fall
And when those rocks pierce through your soul I hope
You're all alone.
