Forever
I took the smile of a child and made it all mine,
I sold their souls just to find out what I really am.
A thief, so cold and a liar!
I called onto you, for you to wake me from this h***,
I reached for you but you were so far away.
This life has become so numb-so numb deaf and blind.
You gave me an inch but I took several miles
I'd reach but I fear the air of night:
Of you, of love, just everything.
I could run into you but I still refuse,
I'll try to save myself; I see you're forever away.
So don't leave me here by myself while I can't breath.
