Letting go of the past

By Dark Nymph

Oh willowly skies take me away
Regret plays heavily on my heart
Maybe its demise
But I tend to overanalyze
Anything that deals with the present,
destroys me.

I can't breathe
I seem to be broken
I can't be fixed
I've been destroyed
The person I once was
Now no longer exists
You've shattered my heart
and I can't find the pieces
I can't put myself together again
I won't be missed
I once was too soft
Now I'm too hardened.

I can't let go
my memories won't let me
(Leave me alone)
you never accepted me
(Why do you persist)
I'm drowning in my tears
(Get out of my head)
Because I'll always hate you to the end.

You were never there, [never cared]
Took what you wanted, [left me to cry]
Now you won't leave me, [your in my head]
driving me to insanity
because I'm afraid to let go.
(or maybe because I'm too devastated to move on)
My heart is stone
(Its not even really there)
I keep building it up
instead of chipping it down
Nothing ever goes right
I'm lost inside my depression
the darkness takes hold of me
There never seems to be any succession
I'm broken I can't get up
I'm letting you win
and now I hate your fucking guts dammit.

I can't ever trust again
its been torn from me
I don't understand
(how could you)
You never understood me
(why would you)
You took from someone else
(and then put me down)
You would of killed me
if I let go
But instead you chewed me up
spit me out
stomped all over me
ranted and raved

Until I finally let go
You got what you wanted
(Now leave me alone)
I no longer trust
I no longer try
The memory of you haunts me
So I never forget why
See what you've done, you stupid bastard
You've demolished me
but I'll soon have my revenge.

But don't feel sorry for me
because you'll be the one that'll be walking alone.
