Wreckage and Rising

Tell me you love me again…

Let me pretend it's real.

Just give me one more moment

Before I remember how you made me feel.

Tell me you love me,

let me hear it all day,

I miss the words you used to say.

Tell me why you left me standing in the rain,

Was I not enough,

or was I just a game?

Was it all a mistake?

Was I wasting my time?

Giving you my heart while you crossed every line.

I gave you my help when you needed someone,

How could you leave me when the damage was done?

Why did you use me just to throw me away?

Why come back when you had nothing true to say?

I thought I knew you,

thought your heart was real,

Now I'm afraid of everything I feel.

TELL ME YOU LOVE ME,

EVEN IF IT'S A LIE!

I'M SICK OF THE QUESTIONS THAT KEEP ME UP AT NIGHT!

You were my forever,

you were all I knew,

Now I'm fighting with the ghost of the person I knew.

You lied, you cheated,

left me breaking apart,

Walked away when I was fighting for my heart.

Now there's anger in my blood,

there's a storm in my head,

I'm still walking through this world feeling empty instead.

You were a monster hiding underneath a disguise,

I believed every promise,

every look in your eyes.

I wanted to love you until the end of my days,

But you left me with the wreckage and the words you couldn't

say. I almost lost everything,

barely made it through,

And the hardest part was knowing I still cared about you.

Now I carry all this anger that I don't understand,

Trying to rebuild a life with shaking hands.

I'm tired of the hatred,

Tired of feeling numb.

I remember who I used to be Before the damage was done.

I don't want to stay broken,

I don't want to disappear.

Somewhere underneath this darkness,

There's a life I want back here.

I DON'T NEED YOUR LOVE TO KEEP ME ALIVE!

I'VE BEEN THROUGH THE DARK,

BUT I'M STILL GONNA FIGHT!

You took what you wanted,

left me with the pain,

But I won't let your memory control me again.

You lied, you cheated,

but my story's not through,

I'm finding the strength to become someone new.

I may feel dead inside,

but I'm still holding on,

And I'll keep moving forward till the darkness is gone!

Tell me you love me…

No, don't say a word.

I need to find the voice

I lost when I loved you.

I'm still here.

I'm still fighting.

And someday…

I'll feel alive again.
