"Even though you'd hurt my feelings, I'd still forgive you. Even if you don't love me, I'd still reach my hand to you. Even if you're gone, I'd still wait for you. Even if you break my heart, I'd still say, I love you."

I feel the blade slice deep through my heart
to depths of my soul
since the day we grew apart
The pain has taken its toll

Unrequited love
the circumstance of my sacrifice
I will never be free of you
apologies do not suffice

You can't just infiltrate my walls
And beg me to let you in
You didn't catch me in the fall
Now you're asking how I've been

I've been hurt
I've been used
I've been broken
I've been bruised

I've become emotionally degenerate
I'm numb to everything
My heart continues to decay
And you don't feel a thing
