Description
I'm not asking to be your somebody,
I know I'm not someone,
That haunts your dreams, just remember me,
And everything I've done.

I dont know how it came to this,
Or even why I'm here.
Just promise me you wont forget,
I washed you with my tears.

I know myself well enough,
To know I'll never be,
An everything to anyone,
As they've become for me.

My worth is only counted by,
The people whom recall,
All the things I did for love,
Before I took this fall.

Never before me has there been,
A person such as I.
And, with luck, those I touched in life,
Will remember before they die.

Everything I sacrificed for,
A world that never knew,
Of all the things I wanted,
But instead I gave to you.

I sit here on muddy earth,
And bear to you my soul.
Of all the things I offered,
It was my heart you stole.

I thought I had locked it up,
And thrown away the key.
And though I thought you a fool,
I found the fool is me.

I trace back to the memories,
Of when I'd given it my all.
I tried to see it through your eyes,
But I'll never be that tall.

No matter if I hide from it,
I cannot hide from you.
And now you'll never understand
All that I tried to do.

I feel the light shine upon me,
Through eyelids I shut tight.
And losing my last inch of hope,
I bear my fists to fight.
