I've been here before
The leaving
Been here on the floor
Been heaving
I know of this place
The rapture
You're leaving this space
Can't capture
I can't keep you here
I'm hurting
So I'll disappear
Reverting
I'll put up my walls
Not peaking
I'm hiding my flaws
Stopped seeking
And everyone leaves
They all do
They rob me like thieves
I love you
I want them to stay
You won't, though
So I ran away
A deathblow
You dealt it to me
Deranging
You say we're the same
But we're changing
Don't ask me to let
You hurt me
Then wonder why I
Want to flee
Folks always leave
I know it
So why try to cleave
Just submit
The leaving
Been here on the floor
Been heaving
I know of this place
The rapture
You're leaving this space
Can't capture
I can't keep you here
I'm hurting
So I'll disappear
Reverting
I'll put up my walls
Not peaking
I'm hiding my flaws
Stopped seeking
And everyone leaves
They all do
They rob me like thieves
I love you
I want them to stay
You won't, though
So I ran away
A deathblow
You dealt it to me
Deranging
You say we're the same
But we're changing
Don't ask me to let
You hurt me
Then wonder why I
Want to flee
Folks always leave
I know it
So why try to cleave
Just submit
She asks me why I'm acting differently after she told me that she is moving. What a joke. I can't handle so much at once. It's too much. I'm full, overflowing and I shut down because I don't know how to cope with the fact that everyone is leaving me behind. I don't know how to do it. So I tell her that I'm having a rough time and that I don't know what she wants me to do when the truth is that I just don't know *what* to do anymore.
