Alone I break



strong connection.
we defined perfection.
provided love and attention.
now all I feel is tension.
I cannot breathe, wanting to die
as you turn away, I softly cry.
Miss you deeply, want you badly,
still in the shadows, loving you madly.
I hear your voice, I see your face,
remembering the passion, time cannot erase.
Just friends, the torture won't end.
Come lift me up, i'm drowning again.
Hollow heart, unsure and alone
with all that is left of me, I begin to drive home.
here comes the rain, almost to the bridge now.
Slippery when wet, my tires are spinning out...
flashback after flashback, going deeper, theres not much more time,
I'm sorry and I love you, don't worry i'll be fine.
