Forgottenland

Why'd you never look me in the eyes?

No loving words, just goodbyes.

Cans litter the nightmares of my days.

And bottles flying to my face.

After all this time I think I've had enough

And I'm not staying to get beat up

You keep saying I won't go and you're so tough

But I'm asking you now so I've got guts-

Why am I not enough for you

What did I do to make you choose

A cold embrace of bottles in hand

While I fade into forgotten land

Your voice was lost within a drunken rage

My emotions were shoved inside a cage

You ignored my cries with another beer

Love drowned deep in poison all these years

Our love was nothing to you except regret

Choked on tears born of your neglect

Did love scare you or was it me

Or was it committing to your new family?

After all this time I think I've had enough

And I'm not staying to get beat up

You keep saying I won't go and you're so tough

But I'm asking you now so I've got guts-

Why am I not enough for you

What did I do to make you choose

A cold embrace of bottles in hand

While I fade into forgotten land

You don’t see me crying in the mirror now

Tired eyes burning from all the lies

Still begging for the love that we'd found

Among hollow memories of how it turned out

I know now that it isn't something that I'd done

The choice was yours and alcohol won

There's nothing left for me to say

Except I'm gone because your love decayed
