The Only Thing That Stopped Was Me

IzzySad

The day my life fell apart Nothing stopped The sky was still blue The birds still sang People still smiled People still loved The only thing that stopped was me Everything rushed on ahead As my screams filled the night I laughed to kill the pain But the pain still came No one can hear The cries of the lost So I screamed in the silence Just to hear myself But I couldn’t hear Because the only thing that stopped Was me
