I need to get away, to get out from underneath this lie that my life has become.

As my vision fades, this darkness grows,
And I start to regret this path I chose.

I hate to do this to you,
And I hate what I've become,
But I know of nothing else,
I shut it all out and run.

So tell me what you see,
When you look in my eyes,
I know what you should see,
A lost soul in disguise.

The pain from loss is passing,
But the happiness from love stays strong,
And although we both hurt in the end,
Loving you was never wrong.

Inside this mirror I see myself,
Trapped behind a face no longer mine,
I seem to be the only one,
Who can see my bitter decline.

For a darkness from my past
Had returned to me,
My blade had taken over,
Death was all I'd see.

For I need to feel wanted,
But I want to feel needed.

Before I met you, I was trapped in a nightmare, but you turned it into a dream from which I never want to leave.

I have endangered the best part of my life,
By returning to the worst part of myself.
