what truth is left

You became someone else

When you died, you rotted

And stopped crying.

You stopped making your promises to me

The day you died.

You let the worms have you

And not worry what I was left with.

If I could talk to you now

I’d just want you to listen

Yeah, if I could hold you now

I would only want you to know

You were being held.

I died that same night,

I lost you.

I didn’t have your worms

See I’m stuck with myself.

I was so alone when I met you

And I thought you could save me.

I thought I could save you

So I told you not to worry

And I repeated that vow

Even after your eyes had shut.

It made me a liar

But I wished you had heard.

We were both liars to each other,

I’m the only one

Wondering what truth is left.
