When I'm with you I'm the happiest
And I feel the most alive. But ******
I remembered how you take my breath away
And when you're not here I feel like I could die.

Open me up and look at my insides.
I bet you will find nothing.
Nothing but some organs and a heart pumping.
There is nothing wrong with me.
There's nothing inside me that makes me feel this way.
I'm just hollow.
I have never felt so empty.

I can't breathe without you.
And god sometimes I feel like I will never breathe again.
My hands are at my throat and I'm trying to remember how I used to breathe before.
I don't remember.
I don't and I don't think I ever will unless there is one single moment when I can
Possibly, maybe have you in my arms again.
But I can't see that happening.
Probably because it never will.
I've made so many wrong choices in life.
I never thought that putting myself away from you was one.

When she looks at you
she looks through you.
And god her eyes looked like full moons.

I always wondered what she was looking at.
I'm afraid that it's a future without me
and it's a future with you.

I slept on the couch
in my living room tonight
because I hate how big my bed is.
It's meant for two and it's so empty without you.
The fragile doll I am breaks
beneath the weight of the sheets
just like I break with the weight of missing you.
So I'm lying on my couch trying to sleep
and remembering all the promises
I thought you would keep.
And maybe when I wake up I will smile and be okay.
So I lay awake from night until day
and no, I'm still not okay.

We're all addicted to something
that takes the pain away.
And maybe for me it was always
trying to stop the blood
running though my veins.
And for you, for you it was the anger.
The anger that constantly grew
and boiled up inside. And now...
my addiction is you and a smile
that could light a room.
I'm your prescription.
We're the antidote
to the thing we hated the most...
Being alone.
