Back in the day when the world was so sweet,
Full of new people who weren't scary to meet...

Just one second, the slightest change
A glimpse of a shadow that isn't there...

Look into my eyes
See the light I think has faded...

You think that I can't see you,
Pretending I'm not there...

If I could only breathe,
Things would be easier...

It's alright, silly girl,
Crying is allowed...

So dance. Dance like the eyesore you've become.
Interpret pity-glares as lustful eyes...

Here is my confession.
I cry. Did you know that...

Stolen away, so cruel and so fast,
The man responsible, brought to justice, at last...

Look how close you'd come to living,
Until grounded by a friend...

My hearts ablaze
My lungs alight...

I often held your hand when you seemed weak,
Encouraged you to speak...
