I'll Be
Prayers can't help me, now
And neither can wishing...
I'm hiding from the sleep
That usually hides from me
Trying to chase away these feelings
That are stuck to my insides
I cannot close my eyes
I cannot lay my head down
I need to stay awake
I need to force you out
I want your memory to depart
Just as you did
I don't want to hear a voice
And think it's you
When I know that it's not you...
I don't want to see a face
And think it's you
Because I know it can't be you...
You were everything to me
But, I was nothing to you
And the worst part is, I thought you cared
Now, I realize my mistake too late
For the damage has been done
And I can't help but hurt
I was blind...so blind
I was foolish...so god-damned foolish
I'm not really as angry, as I try to appear
You broke my heart, chewed it up and spit it out
So, what?
What's it matter, anyway?
I'm just another girl, with a broken heart
Add me to the pile, of girl's you've burnt
I'll be okay, someday, some night
It will all come right
Someday, you won't invade my thoughts
Someday, I won't think I hear your voice
Or see your face, in a crowd...
I'll get over you, I know I will
Just as long as you stay gone...
I'll be alright
