My World Destroyed by Roberto Cocina

And I feel my world spiraling out of control once again like before.
Mood keeps getting lower and my thoughts keep running into each other.
Crashing and breaking into pieces that can’t be put back together.
Nerves keep on pounding in my head while the shiny bottle cracked.
Could feel all of my emotions slowly drain from my body and turning pale.
Soon I’ll be a ghost of the person that I once was; all happy and positive.

When you look at me, do you see me for who I am or who I’m not?
When you look at me, do you see me for who I am or who I’m not?
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me.
Tell me…

You stand there staring at me with those tainted brown eyes once again.
The same ones that made my heart fall for you, came close to shattering.
Then you smile my way, that seductive grin that makes my world go crazy.
But soon I feel the ground beneath me give way and I’m free falling through life.
Losing myself and the blood that I’ve held on to for so long; gone in an instant.
You’re destroying the person I’ve built for so long after you left me in the rain.

When you look at me, do you see the same person that I was once or not?
When you look at me, do you see the same person that I was once or not?
Say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it.
Say it…

And you destroyed my world once again even if you don’t know it right now.
‘Cause I’m keeping my mouth shut and letting my words do all of the talking.
I’m trying my best to not cry these tears that were five years in the making.
But here I am once again shedding these damned tears that you don’t deserve.
You’ll never look at me twice since back in the day, you moved on from me.
Looking for someone new to hold on to your heart after your man screwed you over.
Won’t even give me that second glance or even a chance when I’m here screaming.
Screaming out your name into the sky to hear me, to rescue me from my pain.
But I know you’ll never come to my rescue nor will I come to yours.
Since this story has been set and I’m lived with this damnation of my feelings.
Why can’t I just move on from you, that stupid crush that latched onto my heart?

When you look at me, do you see that same emo kid as before or a man?
When you look at me, do you see that same emo kid as before or a man?
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me.
Tell me…

And I feel my world spiraling out of control once again like before.
Mood keeps getting lower and my thoughts keep running into each other.
Crashing and breaking into pieces that can’t be put back together.
Nerves keep on pounding in my head while the shiny bottle cracked.
Could feel all of my emotions slowly drain from my body and turning pale.
Soon I’ll be a ghost of the person that I once was; all happy and positive.

When you look at me, do you see my heart broken in two or whole in color?
When you look at me, do you see my heart broken in two or whole in color?
Say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it.
Say it…
