And I get by
I don't know why
But if it's you
Then
I can't cry
The guilt
You feel
Is what I share
Now we both live
In despair
I told you not
To talk to me
I warned you that
This is how it would be
But you insisted
Now you see
There is no living
When you're with me
I see you suffer
But you won't back down
I know you're hurting
And I want you around
But it's hard to watch
You waste away
To see your crumbling
This way
I get by
And I don't know why
But it always seems to work
It's clear to me
That you aren't the same
And I can't blame
You, but I do
Have to say goodbye
Because I know your heart'll die
If you stay with me
You won't get by

This WAS a very moving piece. It flowed like a song and I could almost hear musice. I love it, so sad.
