Tonight

Tonight

 

How do you feel when you’re alone?

When forever is all you have left

Describe to me what it is you feel

How it is you find something worth living for

 

I never knew what to look for

Never had something to fight for

Always saw there was no one to look out for me

Loneliness that drills through the heart

 

The sky is what makes you alive

The freedom that surrounds your smile

It’s the moon reflecting in your eyes

Give me your forever

 

Sitting alone here, damn it

I can hear you alone there in your head

The thoughts scream out to me

The scars burn in my skin

 

The cold surrounding every thought

Every moment surrounding that void

Swirling pain that won’t leave

Unable to turn to the ones you don’t want to hurt

 

I’ll burn for you my dear

Oh god I don’t know how to hold you right

Unable to take it all away with something so simple

I’ll die before I let you go

F**k it all to keep you from falling, all alone again

Don’t slip away from me tonight…
