Is it even worth the pain
I know there's more to live for
But all i remember is that you were so important to me
Carry on why
Barely alive I feel dead already anyway
Tell me is it worth it
Pushing to the surface or
Miss you more than anyone I ever met
I know its so stupid but I gotta let you know how much you mean
I'm sure it seems so useless
Listening to me bitch about what I miss so much about you
Now you're gone
I don't wanna continue
What did I do wrong, what did we turn into
How can I act like I'm okay
Put all my heart ill put everything
Into you but you need more than what I've got
All I am and its not enough now leave me empty
Hollow heavy broken heart
Eventually everything falls apart
Eventually everything falls apart
I just thought it wasn't what you'd want
Carry on why barely alive tell me
Is it even worth the pain
I know there's more to live for
But all i remember is that you were so important to me
Carry on why
Barely alive I feel dead already anyway
Tell me is it worth it
Pushing to the surface or
Should I try not to breathe
Carry on why can't look in my eyes without tears
Eyes without fears
Too busy running won't stop discussing
The dark places in our heads
Thought we were safe
Thought you would stay
Thought id be first to runaway
Now im stuck in place and i can't see straight
Now your heart might break
Now I'm stuck in place
And I can't see straight
Now your heart my break
Carry on why barely alive tell me
Is it even worth the pain
I know there's more to live for
But all i remember is that you were so important to me
Carry on why
Barely alive I feel dead already anyway
Tell me is it worth it
Pushing to the surface or
Should I try not to breathe
