In Everything You Do

I don't know how I'm feeling
so please don't ask right now
my mind is numb of memories
and happiness of all persuasions
I've done all I can do for you
so why don't you ask for more
you can't just walk out of here
unchanged and without remorse
you don't understand the yearning
you can't feel the loss of words
I'm so bundled up inside
there's nothing left to scar
you can't just leave this life alone
you can't be gone like nothing
denial is the only truth I know
forgetting everything I ever learned
in this last moment of our time
expression isn't what ought to be done
