Your screams turn to whispers
And your face filled with fear
I try to pay attention
But your words disappear
I forget all the things
I should have said
You made my pain more intense
I hear your screams in my head
I can never escape it
It will never leave me
I gave you everything
But was deprived of what
I really needed
I needed a hug
Someone to care
I needed you
But you were never there
I held out my hand
And you let me fall
Did you ever love me at all
I lied for you
To protect you
But I will never know
If what you said was ever true
You gave me nothing
I wouldn't trade
For one less day
Here with you
I hide everything
But you still knew
All my nightmares
And you didn't care
I screamed for your help
But you watched me die
Now this fear is not only mine
The only thing I wander now
Is if you'd care
If I was six feet in the ground
