My shelf life has expired
And you leave me feeling tired
My bones, they once were wired
But now there's no give at all
I'm barely walking through life
I can barely hold this knife
I have no energy to die
All that's left is the fall
Your words
they mean nothing
I ran all that I can
You're no longer smiling
Could it be you've given in
I know I have
My eyes no longer smile
They trace along the tile
It's been more than just a while
Since happiness lit this heart
Sweet nothings once meant something
There's an empty life, becoming
Everything that leaves scars strumming,
The ends the best to start
Your words
they mean nothing
I ran all that I can
You're no longer smiling
Could it be you've given in
I know I've given in
I know I've given up
