Oh no, oh no you can’t save me now. 

I’ve gone too far. My soul is drowned. 

Oh no, oh no just walk away. 

Leave me here to my doomed fate.

Oh no, oh no please let me go. 

My being is stripped down more than you know. 

Damaged you said, damaged I am. 

I denied it that day, but I was lying again

Broken I know, broken you see. 

There is no putting together these pieces of me.

Oh no, oh no I can’t see where I was. 

Where did I start to get this lost?

Oh no, oh no don’t look into my eyes. 

There is nothing left there, I rid myself of all life. 

Oh no, oh no there is no turning back. 

You need to accept that this is my new path.

Damaged you said, damaged I am. 

I denied it that day, but I was lying again

Broken I know, broken you see. 

There is no putting together these pieces of me. 

Oh no, oh no save yourself now. 

Get away from me before I drag you down. 

Oh no, oh no isn’t it plain to see, 

all I’ve done here is make you hate me?

Oh no, oh no it’s all I can do. 

I’m stepping away to try to save you.

Maybe I’ll see you again someday, 

this broken mind’s reeling to find a way. 

And maybe I won’t, then this is goodbye. 

I’m sorry I hurt you. I swear that I tried but…

Damaged you said, damaged I am. 

I denied it that day, but I was lying again

Broken I know, broken you see. 

There is no putting together these pieces of me.
