Life without you

Yesterday I saw you

With her on your arm

I followed you

But you weren’t alarmed

You probably didn’t notice

That I went close behind

That I saw you kiss

And realized you’re not mine



Yesterday I was able to prove

That you were making believe

That you were on the move

That you readily deceive

Even when you swore

That you didn’t love her

I can’t take it anymore

I can’t see you with her



Take now this knife

And open my veins

I want to bleed life

Until there is no pain

I don’t want to live

If I can’t see you

I don’t want to give

If I can’t love you



Why, tell me, why

Have you fooled me?

Why do you make me cry?

Can’t you see?

All you’ve ever wanted

I gave to you

And now I’m taunted

By the sight of you two



This is how you repay me

For everything I’ve done

By letting me see



You have all the fun

This is how you cherish

My devotion to you

By watching me perish

At the thought of you two



Take now this dagger

And slit my wrists

I want to stagger

Until I can’t resist

The pure giving in to death

Because without your love

Without your breath

I just want to give up



Take now this blade

And end my existence

I want to fade

Into nonexistence

Without your kindness

Life’s not worth it

Time is now timeless

You have given birth to it



Take now your false love

And give it someone new

Someone who is worthy of

All the pain they’ll go through

Now swim and wallow in my blood

Sulk in the homicide of my heart

Hold the remains of my last gut

For life without you is darker than dark
