I'll Be Alright

Take me under, I'm afraid. To let my skin surface
Let the water, overtake, my breath.
Empty rivers, all it takes,
One foot, wrongly placed
And I'm gone,

I'm standing here, weakened at the knees,
With a soul that's worn to pieces, after we said
Everything
Would be alright.
We'd be alright.
It'd be alright
We'd be alright,
Always thought it'd be me who would walk away,
I'll admit I was surprised you didn't make me stay
You said it'd be alright,
Does this seem okay?

It's a miracle I'm sane, my veins flow no purpose
My heart was ripped out clean, my chest,
Aches.
I wont ever love again.
These scars prevent it,
I feel you in my skin, my taste.

And I'm broken down, crying out in pain,
Silenced by the rain, glorified by strength I never braved
And its tearing me, open at the seams,
I'm afraid to scream,
You made me believe

And maybe it's the child in me, but I expected you to fight
You knew how much you meant to me, but you let me drown tonight
You said I was your everything, but I'm taking off this silver ring
At least look at me, when you say goodbye.

I always knew it would be you who could break my faith
I never thought that true love could just fade away
