Last
Quit leaving me behind, I can't run that fast.
My steps are awkward, I always come in last.
Why does this hurt me so?
Why do I let it touch my heart?
Can't you see it's broken enough?
Broken like glass, in a million shards.
Nothing can repair it, not even the King's men.
Quit leaving me behind, I can't do this again.
The race is too long,
And yet I won't surrender.
There's no reward for finishing last,
Quit forcing me to remember.
Do I have to tear out your heart to make you feel my pain?
Where have you been all the times I've screamed your name?
You've been in love,
That's where you've been.
I don't matter anymore,
Not when you're with him.
Quit leaving me behind, I can't run that fast.
This isn't fair.
Then again, who said love was fair?
