Disassociated - a self portrait. Georgine Burnett Photography.

Do you ever fear what could have happened if?

Or do you ever think about things you did?

Have you ever wondered how someone you once knew is now?

Do you ever count the sheep and think about the times you never had.. all the tears you had to cry?

Well I have

And I do

And I'm still not over you so

Cover me in black and

Throw me in the trash and

Feed me with your lies I

Ain't your alibi

And Throw me at the wall

Just to watch me as i fall

And laugh as I cry I

Ain't your allaby

I'm caged into my fear

It's not so clear what happened here

I still think of you when I'm sad

And you make me realise that I'm glad

I'll never love again

But

You were in my dreams just yesterday

I think of the things I didn't say

It's like the time just flew away

I wonder how it got to today

I rush to the store to grab the alcohol and more

Just to drink away my pain

And smoke away your gain so

Cover me in black and

Throw me in the trash and

Feed me with your lies I

Ain't your alibi.

And Throw me at the wall

Just to watch me as I fall

And laugh as I cry I

Ain't your alibi.
