I was like a moth to you, the flame,
The closer I got the more I burnt in haze,
As time did it's trick you became my drug,
The one thing I couldn't live anymore without,

I was foolish to imagine, back in the days,
Of a life without your warm embrace,
Yet as I wake up every coming day,
I'm living it all over and over again,

A single touch makes memories of you flow,
In every other's eye I see your face glow,
Why can't I function without you anymore,
My old feelings for you still seems raw,

Everything I see brings you back to me,
Every song I hear takes me back to us,
Every time my eyes close it's you I see,
Every breath I exhale whispers your name,

It's like I'm haunted by your soul,
Maybe enticed for a lifetime or more,
When can I smile like I used to before,
When will life ever be alright once more,

Many questions drown my brain,
For years it had been the same,
I wish I'd never met you I say,
I would be better off that way,

Under your claws my body keeps on bleeding,
My heart under pressure is barely beating,
My soul in agony is loudly screaming,
Hoping you'd finally hear my pleading,

Please stop holding on to me,
Please lift your curse from me,
Please just let me forget you,
Please I plead, just let me go!
