I Won't Be Okay

My first attempt at writing lyrics in a long time. Forgive me if they're not all that great, I just thought I'd try my hand. It was very therapeutic to write, though.
Enjoy...

Get the scissors, cut the string
Cut me off, just let me be
I'm lost in memory,
And need a release
My heart is still broken
I can't kill the beast

Where is the off switch?
Can't I just hit reset?
I'm the furthest away from you
that I will ever get
Your eyes, just a memory
Empty promises made
I can't close you out
No, I won't be okay

Tied down by your memory
Can't go anywhere
Wondering where you are
And I can't help but stare
At the pictures they took of us
When we were alive
When we both had purpose
When I had a drive

I put all of my trust in you
Your truths were all lies
You said that you loved me too
I'm screaming out to the sky
Forever wasn't long enough
Was that your best line?
Wanted someone that I could trust
I guess I'll find him in time

Please get me away from me
Shut down my mind
I'm all out of sympathy
For my own pathetic life
My mind, all I think about
The empty promises made
I can't close you out
No, I won't be okay

You've changed, you are different
You are someone new
Hope you're all you ever wanted
All I wanted was you
Silent prayers every night
Pleading, let me forget
I can't let you go
I'm just not ready yet

The pictures and memories
I'm putting all of it aside
When you threw it all back at me
A part of me died
The things that we talked about
Empty promises made
I can't close you out
No, I won't be okay.
