UNTITLED 22

You're telling me it's over, but I haven't learned to hear
I close my eyes so I can't see, I'll cry not one more tear
Before you I was different, but that was long ago
You killed the me I was before, I hope it doesn't show
You stole more of my pride each day and kept it by the bed
You slowly killed my mind and then put your thoughts in my head
You tore holes in my soul and heart, and filled it with your pain
"We don't need the sun," you said, "just come dance in the rain"
But I found a mask that fits me, that no one can see through
Nobody knows you're in my veins, and most of all, not you
So I'll chainsmoke my cigarettes and hide inside my pain
I'll say I'm numb, and never ask why don't you still remain
And I'll sleep with my sorrow instead of next to you
The days are passing much too slow, but nothing's ever new
I'll look at you too cold, and you'll never learn to see
I'm too far gone to let it show-I let you get to me
I won't let you see the damage that loving you has done
I'll say goodbye, and close my eyes, so I can't see you run.
