I Only Exist
[Chorus]
No I’m not living I only exist
How much longer can I go on like this
You broke my heart and you tortured my mind
I’ve lost you darlin', you’re long gone this time
[Verse 1]
My home is broken you wrecked my young life
You left me here alone to cry
These tears that are flowin' will soon dry away
And some day darlin' I know you will pay
[Chorus]
No I’m not living I only exist
How much longer can I go on like this
You broke my heart and you tortured my mind
I’ve lost you darlin', you’re long gone this time
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 2]
Honey, you were no good right from the start
My friends all told me you’d break my heart
When your roamin' and ramblin' days are through
You’ll pray for a love like I had for you
[Chorus]
No I’m not living I only exist
How much longer can I go on like this
You broke my heart and you tortured my mind
I’ve lost you darlin', you’re long gone this time
I've lost you darlin', you're long gone this time
