She Cries For Him

Folder: 
2005/2006

DEAD, but i'm still breathing

Wounds have healed but I still feel the pain

Standing, but I feel faint

I'm too tierd but i'm still awake



You see right through me, but do you see me?

You've hurt me, but i'm sure i've hurt you more

you're here but I never see you

You call, but we never talk



I pretend i'm ok, but i'm still not

You're blamed and it's only my fault

Succeding, yet I still regret

He cries for her, and she cries for him



You're not one to take for granted but I sometimes do

I thought I was lonely, but i'm not as much as you

I try to cope, but it still doesn't fill this void

I don't think you realize how much I hurt



I abandoned you when you needed me the most

My greatest fear yet I applied it to someone so close

I helped you dig that hole deeper after all

I smile, but still these tears fall
