They say they're sorry all of it happened,
That they couldn’t imagine,
You just have to keep going they say,
What they’re really saying is endure,
Wake up every day,
With the life drained out of you,
Go around draining the life out of others to make yourself feel,
Come home at the end of the day,
To be alone,
With the ghosts of the people that should have loved you,
Dwell in the personalized hell your mind makes for you,
Try to remember the happy moments but your memory was taken from you,
Somebody robbed a child,
And doomed their future,
That child will never actually live,
Only just barely survive
