Ghost Of Who I Was

I use to be full of life
I use to laugh and smile
Now you are here
Draning who I was
It's not fair
That I should suffer
When all you do
Is throw lies and deciet
In my face
Why do I care for you?
Why do I try to save you
From yourself?
I'm trying to remember
Who I was back then
Maybe if I tried harder
You wouldn't be like this
But here I am
Just a ghost
Of who I was
Just an empty shell
Of broken dreams and promises
