Gave Myself Away
By April, age 26, New Jersey

I sold my soul to the devil
And gave my body to another
I let go the dreams I had
To start a life
I thought I knew so well
I held you in my heart
While living in the shambles
Of the masquerade
From this one-sided parade
And I thought I could let you go
I thought I would be good in time
What I need is gone
and you're not coming back
So how do you go on
How do you live, breathe and cry
When you have nothing left
on the inside
I saw it coming
a freight train in my head
I knew all the signs
and didn't turn away
I let it consume me
control me
Till it broke me
And I stand here
Weak and in disarray
From all the lies
and games we've played
So tell me
how do you go on
how do you live breathe and cry
when you have nothing left
on the inside
There's nothing left
nothing on the inside
I am nothing.
