Remember me - Your happiness

Everyday I watch as your beaming smile slowly fades 

And watch as the light behind your eyes withdraws with every passing minute

The strength I know you once had is used up on fighting tears 

And the lonely battle you fight with yourself is one hidden behind false laughter

I catch each tear you brush away though now my hands are getting heavy 

And every time you fake that smile my heavy burden grows

I beg for you to listen, to accept you can not cope

But every time you shut the door and ignore the fact I'm here

I'm trapped inside your head and your crumbling away around me

Pieces of you crashing down like rocks and the ground that is you beneath me is shaking

My throat is sore from screaming, but I have to make you listen

For every time you cry I feel it, trapped inside this prison

You pretend that you don't know me, that I never did exist

But the photo's on your wall prove you felt me, your long lost happiness

We used to work together, be united as one

But now you've built this cage around me and I fear depressions won

So I'll stay here in the darkness but know that I've never left 

I know one day you'll come back to me and see all our happy memories I've kept

So when you're ready listen out for me because I'll be calling you name

And know if you look deep enough, my lights still burning just the same
