I've Died Inside

I've lived a long enough life,

now I think I want to go.

Maybe I would want to stay

if it was better, you know.

Now don't go getting me wrong;

I won't go offing myself.

I'm just ready when it comes;

be it in sickness or health

..and that reminds me of the vow;

the vow she broke, that's broke me now

I've died inside

I'm just a shell

If I die again

It's just as well

I lost my will

When she left my side

I know death

I've died inside

Is there someone out there, that can raise me from the dead,

infuse me with the strength to carry on?

Someone who can point me, to the fact that life's not pointless

and save me, before the whole of me is gone?

I've died inside

It hurt like hell

Can I live again,

and will I be well?

I've lost all hope,

that hope is alive.

Is death the end

I've died inside
