Brand New Goal

I know there are more important things in life than you;
I just can't remember what the hell they are.
I know I have what it takes to make it through;
I just can't bear to look ahead that far.

Now that I'm dying inside -
I like to taste the tears I've cried;
There is no end to them now it seems -
Since you've left...with my dreams.

Now I'll turn the pain to rage;
I want to go back to my cage -
Before it all turns on me,
Before I give in to misery...

I've got a brand new goal -
Gotta passify my soul;
Just one thing I need to do -
Learn how to get over... you.

They say I've been through worse before;
"Just pick yourself up once more,"
Well I'd rather stick the needle in,
Then just wait...for the dark to win.

I know there are more important things in life than you;
I just can't remember what the hell they are...
Can't remember how to find them;
Can't remember how to want them;
Can't remember... I can't remember how to live.
