Become

I can’t escape
There’s nowhere left to run
And I can’t try anymore
When I feel that I’m the only one
What’s happened to the gift?
I never even felt I deserved
I feel its gone and there’s nothing I can do
I have the need
Although we call it greed
And I saw it all in you
I’m always crying
Feel my heart dying
When all I need is you
You can’t talk to me
And you ignore all these things
But I see through
I can’t say these words
I talk too much and then get hurt
But soon I’ll give up too
All that I am and all I’ll ever be
Everything of me is inside you
I don’t want to lose my life
I’ll try to do what’s right
What’s right for me and you
Now my heart is breaking
These hands they wont stop shaking
Now I’ve become you
