Little do you know,
I’m breaking down piece by piece.
I’m trying to break out of the memories.

Little do you know,
I’m trying to make it better piece by piece.
I am drowning in my mistakes.

Little do you know,
I'm breaking while everyone falls asleep
I’m haunted by the memories

Little do you know,
I need a little more time.

I'm held captive by the hole inside.
I am ready to forgive but not forget cause
that's a harder fight

Just wait,
just wait,
Cause life needs another try.

Little do you know
I'm hurting while your
sound asleep.

Little do you know
I’m trying to make it better piece by piece
Little do you know I
I'll love you till the sun dies.

Just wait
Cause little do you know I will stay

Little do you know
I break every second
keeping it all inside the dark hole that hides me..

Little do you know.

I like it, the repetition makes it sound like it could be lyrics to a song. Just make sure you proof-read before submitting; be aware of grammatical errors. :)
