Tears streak down a dirt-covered face
And I stare at the enticing surface of the knife
But I'm too scared to do it
Too afraid to take my life
Why does fear meet me at every corner?
Why can't I turn on the light?
Why does my existence have to be
An endless struggle and fight?
No matter where I go, it doesn't matter what I do
I can't escape the hurt
I can't let go of you
I don't have what it takes, my heart still breaks
In two
'Cause I just can't let go of you
Looking at my face in the mirror
Don't recognize the girl staring back at me
The smile's disappeared, I bear tear-filled eyes
This isn't how it was meant to be!
Why has the real me hidden away?
Will I ever love again?
How do I forget what happened between us?
How do I escape from then?
No matter where I go, it doesn't matter what I do
I can't escape the hurt
I can't let go of you
I don't have what it takes, my heart still breaks
In two
I can't let go of you
Shards of broken glass under bare feet
I cry out in pain as they cut me deep
No way to get around it
Forever, these scars I'll keep
Who do I turn to now?
Will I ever be able to stop the tears?
Why does this life have to be mine?
Why do I suffer as the world around me sneers?
No matter where I go, it doesn't matter what I do
I can't escape the hurt
I can't let go of you
I don't have what it takes, my heart still breaks
In two
I miss you
'Cause I can't let go of you
I miss the love, I miss the smiles
I miss the laughs and your kiss
With anyone else it'll never be the same
I can't forget all this!
Why can't I turn away for good?
Why must I sit and stare?
Why do I constantly torture myself
Living without you; it's not fair!
No matter where I go, it doesn't matter what I do
I can't escape the hurt
I can't let go of you
I don't have what it takes, my heart still breaks
In two
I can't let go of you
Thinking of you with someone else
My heart shatters on the floor
My throat gets tight, I forget how to breathe
I can't deal with this anymore!
Why is it me whose heart had to break?
And how can I still love you?
Why can't I erase you from my mind
After all I've been through?
No matter where I go, it doesn't matter what I do
I can't escape the hurt
I can't let go of you
I don't have what it takes, my heart still breaks
In two
I can't let go of you
I'm so sick of crying, you'd think I have no more tears to shed
I see no reason to continue living my life
With you gone
I feel nothing but strife!
Why do I feel so lost?
Why can't you just carry me back home?
I can't stand being without you
It's not that I don't wanna be alone!
No matter where I go, it doesn't matter what I do
I can't escape the hurt
I can't let go of you
I don't have what it takes, my heart still breaks
In two
'Cause I can't let go of you
I just really feel like dying now
I'm too sick of being alive
Because "alive" without you in my life
I find no reason to even try
Why does this tear me apart so much?
Why can't it all just go away?
Why does your voice haunt me
Every single day?
No matter where I go, it doesn't matter what I do
I can't escape the hurt
I can't let go of you
I don't have what it takes, my heart still breaks
In two
I can't let go of you
I know that if I'm not yet, then I'll never be over you
I'll carry it with me forever
The real question is "WHY?"
But the answer will come to me never
Why am I even writing this song?
Will it really do any good?
Writing about you just makes me feel worse
I just wish you understood!
No matter where I hide, or what I do
I'm haunted by your memory
I don't want to let go of you!
Don't wanna say goodbye, but there's nothing I can do
I can't stop the heartache
I can't, I won't, I refuse...
I can't let go of you...
