Old Emotions Die Hard

Dazed and confused
Is what I've become
It's as if my brain
Has gone entirely numb

Sad and depressed
Is what I am now
How do you fall out of love?
Please tell me how

Pain and sorrow
Are the only things I feel
My time with you flashes before my eyes
Black and white like and old projection reel

Hopelessness and heart ache
Get so old after a while
How come it's so hard to laugh
And just as difficult to smile?

Jealousy and anger
Overwhelm my tainted soul
They cloud my judgment
Barricading me from my goal

Worthlessness and memories
Make me cry all through the night
Even though I know it's over
I continue my meaningless fight

Happiness and love
Are simply emotions of the past
All I can do is pray
That this terrible hurt doesn't last

Self-pity and hatred
Seem to be all that remain
My heart isn't whole
And my mind is far from sane

Shame and restlessness
Go together so well
Whether or not I'm even in love with you anymore
I can't really seem to tell

I know now that I'm in love with who I thought you were
Can I ask you a question?
What happened to her?

And what exactly am I supposed to do
When the girl I loved
Has been replaced with you?
