A Cold World

I can't fill the void,
The pain of this despair.
I'm counting down the seconds,
And it just isn't fair.

Why'd it have to happen?
I just can't understand.
I'll never hear your voice,
Never hold your hand.

And they say that it's ok,
But what do they know?
This granite stone is cold,
And I'm about to go.

They think that it's easy,
That you were nothing to me.
But baby, you meant the world,
Something you'll never get to see.

It makes me want to scream,
I don't know what to say.
And though you're not there,
These silent words, I pray.

I'm lost in the anger,
Reaching out for you.
But you were taken away,
And I can't believe it's true.

And it's not enough to breathe,
And it's not enough to cry.
Your loss cuts too deep,
For me to ask the question why.

And it's barely setting in,
It's sucking the life out of me.
No, it won't enter my soul,
So I can't yet set it free.
