Iv'e been lost,but now I'm found. I've been gone, but now im here. Iv've been dead, but now im alive.
I've been hurt, but now im healed.
I've been bleeding, but now the blood has stopped.
I've been sick, but now im well.
I've been broken, but now im fixed.
I've been in love, but now I'm out.
I've been blind, and couldn't see.
I've been cold, and couldnt't freeze.
I've been used, and felt worthless.
I've wasted all my time on you, and now i have none left.
I've given you my heart, and now im left with nothing.
I've given you everything, but it still wasn't enough.
So now I'm left here barely breathing waiting until you return what was lost.
