| These are some of my fave Stabbing Westward lyrics that I absolutely LOVE and have inspired some of my writing. These songs are amazing. |
| SHAME if i only see myself reflected in your eyes so all that i believe i am essentially are lies and everything i've hoped to be or ever thought i died with your belief in me so who the hell am i i'm wondering round confused wondering why i try the more that you deny my pain the more it intensifies... i need someone to ache for me the way i ache for you if you ignore that i'm alive i've nothing to cling to i stare in this mirror so tired of this life if only you would speak to me or care that i'm alive once i swore i would die for you but i never ment it like this no i never ment it like this i never ment it like this i don't know if i am real without you what is left of me without you i don't know what's real without you how can i exist without you |
| WAKING UP BESIDE YOU i've been alone for so long forgotten by the world forgotten to myself your effervescent eyes have awakened me and brushed the dust away but i knew you'd never stay so i memorized the color of your eyes as i lost myself inside you and i memorized the way our legs entwined as i drifted off beside you i miss god i miss waking up beside you at night i cling to you, i'm so afraid afraid the day will come and i'll wake and find you gone but you promised you'd not abandon me and kissed my fears away but i woke up to that day but i memorized the way our eyes would meet reflected in the bathroom mirror and i memorized your naked silhouette as you slowly brushed your hair i miss god i miss waking up beside you i've been alone for so long i forgot how much it hurts to wake up so long but i memorized how warm your body felt as you lay half asleep beside me and i memorized the way the sunlight filled the room and played upon your body i miss god i miss waking up beside you |
| WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO you make it hard to breathe it's as if i'm suffocating and when you're next to me i can feel your heartbeat through my skin it makes me sad to think this all could be for nothing i wish there was a way for you to see inside of me i've never felt this way about anyone or anything tell me what do i have to do to make you happy? what do i have to do to make you understand? what do i have to do to make you want me? and if i can't make you want me what do i have to do? i know exactly what you're thinking but i swear this time i will not let you down i'm not as selfish as i used to be that was a part of me that never made me proud right now i think i would try anything anything at all to keep you satisfied god i hope you see what loving you would do to me all i want is one more chance, so tell me... what do i have to do to make you love me? |
| SAVE YOURSELF i know your life is empty and i hate to face this world alone so you're searching for an angel someone who can make you whole i cannot save you i can't even save myself so just save yourself i know that you've been damaged your soul has suffered such abuse but i am not your saviour i am just as fucked as you i am just as fucked as you i cannot save you i can't even save myself so just save yourself please don't take pity on me my life has been a nightmare my soul is fractured to the bone and if i must be lonely, i think i'd rather be alone i think i'd rather be alone you cannot save me you can't even save yourself i cannot save you i can't even save myself so just save yourself |
