I miss the way things used to be,
But I don't miss you.
I miss the person I used to be,
But I don't miss you.
I miss how uncomplicated life used to be,
But I don't miss you.

When dreams fade and no hope remains,
All you see are the shattered remains of what you once used to believe in,
The only thing that kept you alive and breathing each day...
So tell me now what is there to live for?

I chose drugs over pain,
Alcohol to hide the shame.
Solitude to forget them all,
Absence in darkness to fall.
