When You Left

Pain in my chest

It feels like I'm not breathing

I wish I could be the person I knew I needed

Sleepless nights, and barely eating

Thank The Lord for you

Punching bags,

and always screaming,

but you are always there to stop my bleeding

Thank The Lord for you

The pain in my chest

Only became apparent when you left

For a month straight I cried

I know you always wanted these brown eyes

My body is braking on the inside

My body is braking on the inside

It feels like I'm not breathing

I wish I could be the person I know I needed

Sleepless nights,

and barely eating

Thank The Lord for you

Punching bags,

and always screaming,

but you are always there to stop my bleeding

The pain in my chest

Only became apparent when you left

For a month straight I cried

I know you always wanted these brown eyes

My body is braking on the inside

My body is braking on the inside
