Dying Slowly

How can you smile with a smile so sweet,
when all you do is hurting me?
How can you laugh like nothing is wrong,
when i'm dying inside, can't you see?
I'm dying slowly, pain inside,
Crying, you're to be my bride?

How can you play with such innocent ways,
When just to see you hurts so much?
How can you love when you can't see,
how much I yearn for your love and touch?
I'm dying slowly, but no-one can see,
Just how much you mean to me.

How can you pretend to care,
when all I am cries out in need?
Why is it I care so much,
when all I can see is demon seed?
I'm dying slowly, no-one knows,
Hold it in and nothing shows.

How can you glare like you are hurt,
when all I want is to hold you near?
How can you push me aside and leave,
when I've told you that I love you dear?
I'm dying slowly, no-one cares,
Confront me though, that no-one dares.

How can you lie in the arms of another,
when knowing how I feel for you?
How can you torture me with feelings,
whilst giving to another too?
I'm dying slowly, feel like a brother,
whilst what I want you give to another.

How can you expect me to live this way,
expect me to be satisfied?
You want your cake and eat it too,
while I suffer in your prison contrived.
I'm dying slowly, each time you lie,
causes more of me to die.

How can you expect me to believe,
that you care, when you act this way?
How can you expect me to to believe,
that in my arms one day you'll stay?
I'm dying slowly, now i'm lost,
whats left will die now, thats your cost.
