What Have I Done?

written by: Matt Watson

Did it hurt, when you crossed out my name?
Did you know, I couldn't see through my own tears?
This ache, in my heart, was never in comfort,
Because everytime I saw you, I could not reach
Inside of my dreams.

Did it hurt, when you had to say goodbye?
Did you know, I never truly meant those parting words?
I held onto that last kiss, like a memory that could not lie.
I felt so numb, I couldn't tell dream from reality,
And each raindrop, was amplified and pounding in my head.
My heart longed, every time I heard your name.

I feel my heart racing, my mind running,
I feel my eyes clouded, my voice strickened.
What have I done, What have I done
To deserve all this?
What can I do, to erase it,
Abrogation of what won't go away?
What have you done to me?

As I closed my eyes, I tried to just forget.
I tried to forgive the torment when I was apart of you,
But it just won't let go of its grasp, it won't let me forget...

What I've done,
What could I have changed...
What have I done,
Why does it make me feel so empty,
Yet full of such emotion

I feel my heart racing, my mind running,
I feel my eyes clouded, my voice strickened.
What have I done, What have I done
To deserve all this?
What can I do, to erase it,
Abrogation of what won't go away?
What have you done to me?
(Just leave ME BE!)

Leave it, forget,
What I have done.
I hate you, I love you,
I wish you'd just die,
Away from that place in my mind
So I can fall away, without regret
And cut myself from this world
To just live in a dream

What have I done?
What have I done?
Just let go, fall down,
And wash away the pain.
