Analysis of Throw Me Away
She's married now, she married him....
My love is gone and won't come again....
My heart is broken, my head is sore
Things will never be like they were before
I'm crying now, my soul is shattered,
She threw me away like I never even mattered.
Garbage is me.....that's all that I am,
Discard me away in a big green can!
My heart won't recycle, so toss me away-
I don't even know how to get through the day,
But somehow I must! The show must go on!
And this time i won't live my life all wrong.
No, this time is different, because I am numb
Toss me away where I won't see the sun
Or burn me, and let my smoke hit the sky.
I can never be happy, I am just a disguise.
I will never be free, I will always be chained-
To her memories, her pictures, and all of this pain.
I can see her laughing as if it's all fine,
Now I'm dead to the world, for she will never be mine.
No words to write, no words left to say-
Pick me apart and throw me away!
I am nothing to no one, I never could be...
I am too worn out why cant anyone see?
The void is almost here, I gave up my soul!
It all was replaced by this gaping dark hole!
And none of this matters because its all in my head,
And nobody cares that I wish I was dead.
Get rid of the pain, get rid of the pain!
Get rid of these thoughts that make me insane!
Get rid of my light, get rid of my day--
Make me feel better, and throw me away.
