How Does It Feel?

How Does It Feel?

How does it feel,
When the walls begin to come down?
But still...
You won't leave,
You won't move,
Doesn't seem to be a thing that you can do
Where do we turn,
When no-one around us seems to learn?
How does it feel?

How does it feel,
To need someone so much?
But still...
They lie there alone,
And don't know which way to go
Where should we turn,
When bridges burn around us,
And we don't learn?
How does it feel?

How does it feel,
To watch someone die,
In your arms?
When you promised them,
That you'd keep them safe from harm?
But still...
Memories we have to live with forever,
And time doesn't fade them,
No never
Where do we turn,
When the past catches up,
And makes us burn?
And how does it feel?

How does it feel,
To know everything is wrong?
To know in your soul,
They were lying all along?
To feel someone's pain?
To let them feel your rage?
How does it feel,
To know that it's over?
But still...
You'd give anything,
To see just one more morning,
How does it feel?

How does it feel,
To see the dreams you made turn to dust?
But still.....
How does it feel,
To find reality is wrong?
In your mind it seemed so strong,
How does it feel?
Letting go is so easy,
Giving up is so appealing!
How does it feel?
