[Verse 1]
I close my eyes, so I can't see you leaving
I still hear, you walking out
I can't move, feel like I'm not breathing
How do I live without you now?

[Chorus]
Is this as bad as it gets?
Is this as hard as it seems?
Is this the way it feels with a dagger through your heart
When you're falling to your knees ripped and torn apart?
How long am I gonna cry?
Feel like I'm gonna die
Trying to forget
Is this as bad as it gets?

[Verse 2]
The sun's goin' down
How will I ever face our empty bed?
Turn out the light
It hurts too much
To know you're never coming home again
You said goodbye

[Chorus]
Is this as bad as it gets?
Is this as hard as it seems?
Is this the way it feels with a dagger through your heart
When you're falling to your knees ripped and torn apart?
How long am I gonna cry?
Feel like I'm gonna die
Trying to forget
Is this as bad as it gets?

[Chorus]
Tonight, tell me I've seen the worst of this jagged knife
Deep inside my broken heart
He'll only leave a scar

[Chorus]
Is this as bad as it gets?
Is this as hard as it seems?
Is this the way it feels with a dagger through your heart
When you're falling to your knees ripped and torn apart
How long am I gonna cry feel like I'm gonna die
Trying to forget
Is this as hard
Is this as tough
Is this as bad as it gets?

[Outro]
I close my eyes so I can't see you leaving
