Why am I still here
Grasping for straws of hope
Searching for the last string of love
Breaking each piece of me
For the lies and betrayal

Why am I still here
Telling you you're worth something
When my own worth has be reduced to ashes
My heart trampled by your betrayal
Made a fool by your people

Why am I still here
Crying to hold on
When those nights I needed you
Were spent flirting with her
Courting her as if I was no longer

Why am I still here
When I was an option to you
A comfort zone you'd rely on
When all I got were tears
Depression and loneliness

Why am I still here
When you have nothing else to offer me
When all I want is to give you the world
Show you your worth
And give you the stars
