You Wanted
Why can’t you let me go?
Why couldn’t you let me die?
You wanted me to survive,
And you’re not trying to lie.
You wanted this to be okay,
But I had no will to live.
You could see it in my eyes,
I had nothing left to give.
You promised me I’d be okay,
But I’d already given up the fight.
Tell me why you still care,
Why you want to make this right.
You tried to tell me I’d be fine,
You gave me everything I ever wanted.
But you know nothing about my past
That burned me and left me haunted.
