My Reason for Leaving; My Reason for Living
This Town brings back memories 
 They sting inside my head
 From the time I saw you walking into the room
 To the time I said “Goodbye”.
 Your tears soaked your face 
 As you pleaded for me to stay
 But I’ve been so selfish in the past
 Risking your life for my own play.
 Now I stand here on your lawn
 Waiting for all of it to go away
 For you to forget about everything that’s me.
 
 I want to go back
 To the way things were before.
 I long to hear your heart beat.
 I long to feel your pulse.
 If we stayed together
 Your future would be unknown.
 You would probably be damned to my life 
 Or end up lifeless in your own little hole.
 If you stayed with me
 I would be the last thing you’d see
 At the end of your life.
 If you were to die
 I would try to end mine.
 
 Now that we’re far apart
 You’ve pushed everyone away
 Trapping yourself in emotions 
 Because of what I had to say.
 Now I’ve heard you have taken your life
 That you jumped into the deep, deep ocean
 Do not worry about me any more
 There is nothing you can do to stop me.
 My reason to live has drowned in the sea
 And now I shall join her.
 
 As I walk down the hall 
 To the rulers at the end
 All I can think about is your tear drenched face.
 How I hurt you in a way no one could.
 How I told you to forget about me 
 Though I knew you never would. 
 I pleaded for my own death
 To the rulers on blood, red thrones.
 They have denied my request 
 For the gift that I own.
 
 There is only one way out now
 I’m going to take it. 
 I will expose the monster I am 
 To the great city they know.
 Don’t worry now, love
 We can be together now
 For at high noon tomorrow 
 The rulers will take my life.
 We can be together now 
 Without worrying about your life.
 For at high noon tomorrow
 The monster in me shall die.
