A haunted past,
A broken heart,
A forgotten face,
World torn apart.

What makes me feel this way?
I wonder, could it be you?
Or perhaps it is more that I had thought
That I could actually pull through.

For I am no one,
Lost inside;
My tears are nothing,
As is everything I hide.

Why must my heart burn so,
With the heat of a phoenix flame?
The ice you owned could extinguish fire,
I knew before you even came.

But no, you cannot see me now,
For you'd be hurt like me.
I only wanted just to know,
What is it in you I see?

I know who I am and who I can be,
But for you that's not good enough.
But perhaps I am more, and can be still,
A diamond in the rough.

No one cares for me in the least,
My memory is vanishing fast;
But at least I thought that love was what
Could always outlive and outlast.

The flame still blazes on inside,
My heart is breaking again.
For I am burning and soon will be gone,
I knew I could never win.

For I am no one,
Lost inside;
My tears are nothing,
As is everything I hide.

Why must my heart burn so,
With the heat of a phoenix flame?
The ice you owned could extinguish fire,
I knew before you even came.

And why must I feel the love that I do,
When all I have ever been was a lie?
But now I have you, and that's more than enough
To erase all the tears that I would cry.

For I am now someone,
Outside and inside;
My tears are now something,
And I have nothing to hide.

Why must my heart burn so,
With the heat of a phoenix flame?
The ice you owned could extinguish fire,
I knew that before you even came.
