Crumbling Away
how do you expect me to live?
live my life without you
you were my everything now
nothing matters, since your gone
you took my heart away and
i don’t know how to get it back
i cry myself to sleep
each night that i am alone
days are dark without you here
i suffer to atone for my sins
how can i go on, i can’t
go on with nothing but fear
nothing else matters, not now
pain guides my empty heart
it hurts so badly, death should
come, i’ll crumble away to die
this will go on, till empty sleep
finds me – never having peace
nor able to find the power to
move on – to find some happiness
