    Down the Drain

    Circling my mind like water down the drain
    The agony from your words
    The dull throbbing pain
    The shame that I feel
    Just for feeling at all
    The pain, it's all real
    and I feel cold as I fall
    I'm just numb and I'm lost
    I thought you were my light.
    I'm just bitter and cross
    My day's turned to night
    How could you! I couldn't,
    I wouldn't say THAT
    and now you hold me so limply
    as you take it all back
    But I'm empty and desperate
    my heart hangs by a thread
    And my eyes are just searching
    for the horizon ahead
    How cold will it be?
    How alone will I feel?
    How dare you promise me tomorrow
    with words that aren't real
    Or was it the hatred you spewed
    were those the lies that you told?
    just to hurt me and break me
    and watch me unfold?
    In that case, how dare you
    cut me so deep
    with our dreams as your weapon
    and promises you can't keep!
    I was angry before
    now I'm hateful and dead
    and your words just keep circling
    like voltures in my head
    They feed on my fears
    and pick at what's left
    of the growth through the years
    that has now turned to death.
    and my blood now runs cold
    for the angel I love
    the Angel I thought
    had been sent from above
    to guide me and lead me
    through life hand in hand
    and forever our souls
    together would stand
    but your words they just circle
    and my heart, it just cries
    and I replay all the anger
    as tears fill my eyes
    and I reach for your hand
    but it's black and it's cold
    and I look into your eyes
    and see the lies that you've told
    no more do I see
    that beautiful man
    no more do I long
    for your sweet guiding hand
    no more will I cry
    for your love through this pain
    my blood for you runs cold
    like water down the drain
