Pain Remains the Same

I try to scream and I try to shout
but my voice has been muted by the way you acted
I am trapped within myself and I'm reaching out
through the wires of a heart I disconnected.
Can you live with the pain that you felt before
can you accept what fate has in store
will you be able to bare
breathing someone else's air
and living someone else's love?
can you be the one he thinks of?
Can you be the ghost they want you to be?
can you close your eyes and pretend not to see?
You're not living you're just watching life pass by
You're not listening and you believe every lie
You're an empty shell, numb, broken
you have a hole inside because your heart's been stolen
you know you'll never be chosen
you know you'll never be the one
you know it all but still you hope
because you can't cope
the truth is like a blinding light
cuting through the dark night...
and the shadows love you
because the world discards you.
Your eyes are windows to another world
that exists within your soul
you laugh you cry you smile you scream
his gaze invades your dreams
you're silent you're broken you're torn
you're wishing you were never born
you curse who cursed you
but you can't stop feeling blue
nothing you say and nothing you do
will ever make you stop feeling blue
it's useless and it's pointless
to blame the blameless
there is no one to blame
no one to share the shame
It's all your own doing, your creation
never a fragment of imagination
It was all real and time never stood still
and a broken heart is hard to fill
if you can't stop and mend it first
then you can quelch the thirst
and you can smile again...
and right there and then
you can forget about the pain
even though the pain remains the same.
