Heartbreak

The empty void that cannot be filled
The sweet and bitter sorrow
Knowing that things just simply won't
Get any better tomorrow

The feeling that makes you want to scream
Until the bloody day is done
As you throw those love letters away
One by one

Can’t forget the good times
Can’t pretend the fun was all a lie
Can’t wish I didn’t remember
Because it hurts when he walks by

Reminiscing all the while
The laughs, the smiles, the secrets
Memories and hopes shattered
While my broken heart still frets

Standing here all alone
You’d think the pain would dull
But singing all the songs in the world
These thoughts reverberate against my skull

Seems like it’s been forever
My soul won’t seem to mend
Sometimes I wish I’d go numb
Sometimes I wish my life would end

No light at the end of this tunnel
Pitch black, all I can see
Wonder when this feeling will go
If I’ll ever run free

Free of the guilt, the shame
Free of the rejection
Free to be a butterfly
No longer under your inspection

You know, I know
That time will always heal
There’ll be a sweet end
My heart will be yours to steal
