How can you manage...

Location

How can you manage to stay away?

The pain it causes…

I can barely breathe;

Tell me your secrets.

How do you just walk away?

 

At the end of the night,

When you sleep in an empty bed,

Knowing what you’ve done;

Who you’ve slayed.

 

Can you count all the ways you’ve gone wrong?

Can you count that high?

I don’t think I can…

How many people have you hurt?

Can you fix that?

Are you going to try?

 

Night after night you lay there thinking,

Just lay there,

I want you to feel the pain of lives you’ve destroyed.

The lives you left behind.

 

The things you can’t fix.

How dare you sleep?
