Floating into the sky happily alive next,

you don't know why

you want to go down

But you can't, you feel like you're helium

Stuck where you do not want to be

But if you drop it's all on you

You just want to stop

Never alive

Dead inside

You just wanna scream inside.

You cry at night outta sight.

You're hoping you'll be alright.

A beat to your chest

Hurts the rest

A tear in your eye

A grief-stricken to heart

Knowing we'll always be apart.

The darkness spreads

my heart shattered

Knowing I just lost a part.

A missing piece of the puzzle

Lost in darkness

Never found

They think you're happy

. It's just a mask

They can't see past.

They think they understand

A mother and a daughter

inseparable

That all changes in a flash

You try to get past

But you keep going back.

They say you're depressed.

You already know that.

But that feeling you just can't get past.

The guilt and regret

Is now alive

I wish it wasjust blindn.

The first time I went under

You weren't there

And we all know that wasn't fair.

I was scared

But I 'knew' you were there.

You were the glue

We were the paper

Without you, we crumbled.



2 years older

You weren't there.

You didn't sing to me.

You couldn't hug me

You couldn't help me bake my cake.

But I've always been in denial.



On my big day

Waiting right there

Counting on Your Voice

but you still didn't appear.

Then I remembered the truth.

You wouldn't come through.

Even though I was waiting,

Each day waiting for us to go painting,

For you to come ask about dating.

But I fooled myself into daydreaming.



I have your hair

Your eyes

And that's something I can remember you by.

I miss waking up to a smell,

The burning food and the bells

the bells ringing from the smoke

we would get woke



I miss cleaning while singing and dancing

then going chanting

singing as loud as a concert

we never got hurt

I miss you with all my heart

knowing we'll always be apart

I miss everything that we did

deeply from the bottom of my heart.
