Everyone Who I Knew and Loved Is Gone

I pass by homes where I used to roam, and everyone who I knew and loved is gone
I think I've lost my mind, it feels like the end of my time

As I head downtown, it's freezing out, but it's the cold that burns that makes me feel alive
I know I'll never be good enough in your eyes
Instead I waste away, living this life I hate
Tied down by all the things I can't escape, I can't erase
Living in the shadows of everything that surrounds me

I've only ever wanted to make something of my name, but now I'm stuck heading down the wrong way on a one-way street

So I head back home there's nowhere else to go
Consumed by all the thoughts that rip at my soul, an image of someone I don't even know
Please don't read into this, please just listen to me
Heart beats cold, I'm slowly letting go

Tomorrow is just another day for me to make the same mistakes
Don't follow in my footsteps, please just listen to me
