Vacant

How long has it been
Since I was reassured
That everything will be alright in the end?
Tell me the things I never wanted to hear
All this time, you tried to fix what wasn't even broken

Tread on me, subconsciously
Give me what I lack
There is no turning back
Holding my tongue, was holding me down
I couldn't say anything as you watched me drown
You watched me
You walked on me

You watched me
You walked on me
Ruined me from the inside out
Watch me fall apart

The here and now is such a daunting task
Every part of me has changed
But there's something inside of me
That stayed the same

The nights are cold, and the days are bleak
Like the oldest tree, I am weak
I'll live on, away from it all
It's the only way I'll find
Where I really belong

Tread on me, subconsciously
Give me what I lack
There is no turning back
The undeniable remains
The truth will always sting

How can I learn to love at all
When everything is so temporary?
How can I learn to love at all
When everything is so temporary?
