Living Only To Die

This last time I'll dry my eyes
Looking back on past mistakes
Dreams and memories passed by
Another breath I'll never take.

So many times I've locked it away
Just forever throwing away the key
The emotions inside of me of today
Constantly refusing to let me be.

This is what you have done to me
this is what I have become
If you had opened your eyes to see
Maybe I wouldn't have run.

Maybe if you could have seen
that I had big dreams as well
You wouldn't have driven me off
Your selfishness was my farewell.

I never completely understood you
Never seeing passed yourself
Every little thing you would do
Made me feel less and less.

Now this cage surrounds me
deceit and bitter lies
Is this who you wanted me to be?
Living, only to die?
