Because I'd hate for someone to listen
I've gotten to a place where no one remembers my name
And everything turns to ash in my hands.
everything i've built on to get here has gone up in flames
and its hard to look back and think i was unhappy
just one year ago.
because this hole goes deeper still.
When I mean it.
When I absolutely cannot contain myself
When i'm falling head over heals
just a little more
with every thought of you
I can't say it.
I refuse to be a fool .
when a few short weeks
will claim this life
I refuse to waste my time
And tell you how much I love you
When no matter the amount of 'pleases' and 'i love you's' and 'stay's'
will not make one bit a difference.
I want to hold your hand
and pretend to be happy
only masking my tears
cherishing moments
because i think i'm holding on
to something that will never stay put
But I want you to remember my name.
