I wake alone
You're already gone, but you live here
Stare at my phone
As if it would make me feel less alone
I walk downstairs
My body creaking like the floor
It never ends
The slow decline towards the depths
All of my friends have said goodbye
I left them behind
I told myself it would be just fine
But the mirror doesn't lie
Now I'm someone I don't recognize
Wade through the days
My mind is gone, my body's still here
Wasting away
The youth that I will never get back again
All of the good times since gone by
I left them behind
Looking for a little piece of mind
I can never seem to find
I told myself it would be alright
Well that was quite the lie
All my old friends have said goodbye
I left them behind
Trying to find a better life
But the mirror doesn't lie
Now I'm someone I don't recognize
