You didn't used to be like this.
I remember when your smile
was real; your laugh was loud.
We were children then; we've
both grown up, both faced
the world, both taken different paths.
It didn't have to be like this.
I shouldn't have to feel like this
I remember when you saved me;
When you held your hand out
for me to take; you stood by me,
you helped me out; but in the end
you changed; you took the wrong way out -
You never had to be like this.
I never thought it'd be like this
I never thought I'd see you
stand aside; see you watch
as others die, and keep smiling -
Always smiling. Will I ever see you
cry for them? Will you ever know
What it's like to feel like this?
I shouldn't have to scream like this
I shouldn't need to cry
for you, for how you used to be,
for what you were to me
But this time is the last, this time
I'll save myself; I'll wake up from this nightmare
You made it be like this
You never used to be like this
You didn't stand aside and watch
me die, I never used to need
to cry, I'll see the day when you
will lose that silver smile, your eyes will open
and you'll see me here, I'll live again
I'll never need to scream like this
Again.
