Forever Gone

Life's so empty
and I'm so lost

cold and alone
I can't begin to tell

it hurts so bad
but no one knows

the truth behind the lies
the broken heart under the mask

the make-up over the bruise
the sleeve that covers the cuts

no one will ever hear
as my screams fall on deaf ears

my tears drop in silence
and my blood bleeds free

that smell on his breath
the look in his eyes

I know it won't change
tonight will be the same

but can't you see the pain?
In my eyes, and know nothing's behind

it's all gone
every last thread of hope

say I'm alright
tell you I'm okay

I'm not
I can't be

I flee from the house
but not in time

I was too late
and I got caught

the snow I cannot feel
already to cold inside

every limb numb
every bone frozen

deepest, my heart can't be warmed
I'm frozen inside

a hand to keep me from drowning
I never accepted

too afraid
scared of being loved

but now it's too late
and the hand is gone

I'm falling under
forever gone
