My Imitation

Breathe in breathe out
Appear so alive
But truthfully I'm really
Empty inside
I want to be set free
But these chains are binding me
Let me go cause you don't want me
Go away and leave me be
Set me loose
Cause you don't need me
Break the bonds that hold me so tightly
In your arms
Until I awake
And I see that
It's all fake
Imaginary, you fade away
Into the darkness of the night
I close my eyes
And try not to cry
In my mind
Wishing it would all go away
But in my heart
Still you stay
You've taken every part of me
Now nothings really mine
And I just sit and watch
So helplessly
As you take another part away
Until nothings left at all
No reason now not to fall
Breathe in breathe out
Appear so alive
But truthfully I'm really
Empty inside
