Hypothermia Saves Me From Feeling

Take me back to the days when our world was on fire,
When everything felt new, and all your words could inspire.
Before the hurt and the pain, all the lies and the struggle,
The memories you couldn't take, and issues I couldn't juggle.

Show me some meaning, a point to all we went through,
When the road only seemed to culminate and end in my losing you.
All the times that you fell, and I put you back on your feet,
The drugs and the alcohal, you just couldn't beat.

Do you remember that feeling, that gave us the strength to go on,
The dreams and the plans we made, turned to dust now that you're gone.
The promise that you'd always be there, now lays shattered and broken,
Along with all the moments we'll never have, and the words never spoken.

Why is it only unanswered questions seem to follow in your wake,
And somehow you stole my smile when you died, replacing mine with a fake.
God, it's been almost 2 years, and I'm still dealing with the devastation,
The world keeps on moving forward, but I've lost all communication.

There is no explaining, no way to make the world understand,
The part of me that was taken, when I lost hold of your hand.
It feels like a lifetime already, but I guess the lifetime lies ahead,
Because I'm the one who's still alive, living with the fact that you're dead.
