Why did you have to go

I had a dream you were the get away driver
But you were the only one in the car
You picked up the broken pieces
While mine all fell apart

Stranded in that moment
Between confusion and doubt
I had no idea what hit me
What any of this was all about

I walked around frozen
In the fear that you supplied
Trying to get through the day
While little parts of me died

I stripped myself naked
In more ways than one
Though everything inside me
Told me I should run

I try to mask the hurt
To make it go away
I hide behind my loneliness
To skate by day to day

You call me up
I try not to cry
I choke back fears
But slowly I die

Why did you leave
Why didn't we last
I look in the mirror
I see only a mask

I keep myself busy
To try and forget
But when things get quiet
You're the only thought I get
