Hurt

I hurt inside
i hurt more than anyone can know
because i have no one to help me absorb it
bleeding from the mouth, i struggle to breathe
i'm hanging on by less than a thread
if someone would happen to cut that thread,
would anyone catch me?
i see no one waiting down below
i hurt more than anyone can know

i have loved a woman
i have loved her with everything i have inside myself
it is the best feeling that i have ever known
what does it feel like to be loved?
i want someone to tell me, for i fear that i am missing out on the most precious thing that life can give
but there is no one here,
no one to tell me how it feels
and i am not sure it is possible to live without that feeling of someone embracing the love in your heart
i hurt more than anyone can know

i have fallen
for years i have waited and waited
as the thread slowly lost its strength
finally, someone cut it
cut my life and struck me down
that someone was you
for you have stolen my heart,
beaten it, strangled it, left it for dead
love is a fragile thing
you knew this, and you still didn't care

i am forever
forever lost, forever alone, and will forever mourn the loss of you
and the loss of my heart
but it's okay
i never really expected to find anything
empty is the only thing i have known
and the only thing i have deserved to find
i would have given you everything,
yet you didn't even know who i was
but if you ever stop to think of me
just call me the unrequited one

you are gone, you are lost
lost to me
i was hoping that with you, with you and my strangled and beaten heart
you would take my pain away
but to this day
i hurt inside
and it is all because of you

i hurt more than anyone can know
