I left behind

All that I used to be

So that you'd stay with me

And you've become

Everything that I need

For my sanity

I left behind

All that I used to be

But this time I did it for me

And you were everything I needed

If I cut the strings

That held me hostage

Would I fall and shatter

All the itching and the scratching

From withdrawal keeps me

Out of check

I am fixated

On all of the things

We were together

But those are fragments

That are better off

Lost

And just

How can something so enticing

Have such awful side effects

All the itching and the scratching

From withdrawal keeps me

Out of check

I am fixated

On all of the things

We were together

But those are fragments

That are better off

Lost forever
