Killing Me Inside

I feel so lost

I can no longer see

What's important to me

The  people that I love

Who don't feel the same way

Oh, I hate this feeling

Yet must admit

That it might be here to stay

I loved you for long

But apparently you don't see it

We're drifting away

But it's not like you care

You're killing me inside

Sadly, this feeling can't be denied

My heart feels so heavy

My tears so frail

But why would you care?

I'm nothing there

You don't even see me

Yet you don't disappear 

Thus you're killing me inside

I feel so heartbroken

I feel so sore

Like someone took me love

And threw it out the door

But why would you consider

That I might be bitter

After all you're killing me inside

It's just that you can't be forgotten

No matter how much I try

Your stuck on.my heart

And that's not a lie

I want you to say it

I wish you'd care

I want you to mean it

And that's not a dare

Cause you're killing me inside

Yet three words could heal me

So tell me that you love me

Please do

So tell me that you care

And mean it too

Tell me that I'm precious

That I'm one of a kind

Because otherwise

You're killing me inside...
