didn't you know...?

Do you know it hurts to leave me here?

Bleeding, scarred, begging for someone to see,

And you won't shed a single tear—

Even though we've been through so much—for me. 

 

Didn't you know?

 

Do you know it kills me when you walk away?

Your back is turned, footsteps left, and I still stand,

But you keep leaving me there, day after day,

So I fall and fall, but you won't ever see me land. 

 

Didn't you know?

 

Do you know how I die when you lie?

Hair over your eyes that are glued to your feet,

Nervous like I won't see through the things you hide,

I know I'm too much, but you took the heat.

 

Didn't you know?

 

Do you know that I cry because I don't know?

I don't know why you aren't here anymore, by my side,

I'm so lost in this sea, in the music, in this twisted show,

And you're too callous to see my goodbye. 

 

Didn't you know

It's my time to go?

    I wake up under covers or chains,

    Alone in a bed I didn't sleep in,

    Clothes like a straight-jacket around my limbs,

    My thoughts locked in the prison of my brain.

     

    Outside it is snowing—a cotton cover,

    My life is like a lake,

    All water and round,

    So clear it is a mirror,

    Or rather, a looking glass.

     

    But when you look a little closer,

    Dip your toes beneath the surface,
