I close my eyes so I can't see you leaving
I still hear you walking out
I can't move, feel like I'm not breathing
How do I live without you now?
Is this as bad as it gets?
Is this as hard as it seems?
Oh, is this the way it feels
With a dagger through your heart?
When you're fallen to your knees
Ripped and torn apart
How long am I gonna cry?
Feel like I'm gonna die
Trying to forget
Is this as bad as it gets?
Sun's going down
How will I ever face our empty bed?
Turn out the lights?
It hurts too much to know
You're never coming home again
You said goodbye
Is this as bad as it gets?
Is this as hard as it seems?
Oh, is this the way it feels
With a dagger through your heart?
When you're fallen to your knees
Ripped and torn apart?
How long am I gonna cry?
Feel like I'm gonna die
Trying to forget
Is this as bad as it gets?
Tonight, tell me, I've seen the worst of this
Jagged knife deep inside my broken heart
It'll only leave a scar
Is this as bad as it gets?
Is this as hard as it seems?
Is this the way it feels
With a dagger through your heart?
When you're fallen to your knees
Ripped and torn apart?
How long am I gonna cry
Feel like I'm gonna die
Trying to forget
Is this as hard? Is this as tough?
Is this as bad as it gets?
Oh, I close my eyes so I can't see you leaving
