The Last Good Thing
Endless days blurred together
Each one harder than the last
No hope left to hold on to
All happiness in the past
No place in this world
For a dark and wayward soul
Cut off from society
Alone with nowhere to go
Going through the motions
In an emotionless living hell
Until I found the thing I loved
More than I hated myself
Years of directionless wandering
And I wandered into you
One look into those sea-green eyes
And in that moment I knew
I have to be something better
Than the nothing I am now
From that day until forever
Became my unbreakable vow
Although the journey is no easier
I still keep up the fight
Because you are the last
Good thing left in my life
