Let Me Tell You

Contributed by JacobsKK on Wednesday, 13th April 2005 @ 06:50:47 PM in AEST
Topic: LostLove



Baby, let me tell you something,
That I swore I never would.
You may wish you never heard it,
But I really think you should.

Before we were together,
Around the time you went away.
My eyes were not the blue you love,
They were an ugly shade of gray.

I lost every single color,
In my body, mind, and soul.
My love for you was something,
I could no longer control.

Sometimes I sat on the floor,
Sometimes on the bed.
Your memory was eating away,
At everything in my head.

I would barely come out of my room to eat,
My parents had no clue,
That the only appetite I had,
Was a hunger of love from you.

I only came out to shower,
And also to do my chores.
My family was angry with me,
Cuz I didnt care anymore.

The little sleep I got,
Was invaded with terrible dreams.
Stitch by stitch, my heart,
Was being ripped apart at the seams.

But what I promised Id never tell you,
Baby, its really bad.
But everyone has a limit,
As to how long they can be sad.

When I saw knives, I thought of my wrists.
I saw windows and thought of glass.
Anything to take the pain away,
I wanted to be rid of the past.

My mind said you werent coming back,
My heart said wait some more.
But the knife I held against my wrist,
Promised Id hurt no more.

Several times I tried.
But Id always drop the knife, and cry.
Instead of praying for you,
I prayed I could curl up and die.

Whenever I woke up,
I tried to go right back to sleep.
When I finally held back all the tears,
Your memories made me weep.

Whenever I swallowed food,
It always made my stomach upset.
I thought that if I died,
Then I could finally forget.

I never really told you,
Just how bad it really was.
I thought God didnt listen,
But he proved to me he does.

If you worry about me now,
Think of how much you would back then.
I hope I never cry that much,
Or pick up a knife again.

I just cant believe how close I came,
To taking away my life.
Now you know why I never like it,
When you always play with your knife.

I always knew one day Id tell you,
Just how bad it really was.
Nothing compares to my love for you,
Trust me, Nothing does.

I hope that youll thank God,
For not letting me do what I wanted to do.
Cuz I dont think Id be here right now,
I also wouldnt be with you.
I Love You, Baby
