Lonely Heart Ballad
Too many times, the story does end
Broken hearted I cry, in need of a friend
Words can not say, what I so badly feel
I cannot define, something this real
I’m trying my best, but there’s no guarantee
That I’ll escape my fate, or ever be free
I’ve tried running scared, but that never works
I’m sick of this life, and all of it’s perks
Buildings will fall, I don’t have a doubt
They’ll come crashing down, before you can shout
Silent and still, the ashes remain
The spirit I had, I think has been slain
Tears start to fall, now on comes the flood
Water drips from my heart, or could it be blood?
You cut me deep, almost pierced through a vein
I’m aware that this knife won’t lighten the pain
But what can I do, there is no other choice
Everywhere I go I hear your soft voice
Taunting my efforts, and whispering low
I cover my ears and scream, “Please let me go!”
I get struck down when I see your eyes
They’re a weakness to me, like kryptonite
Blue as oceans they consume my mind
I see them in places, you wouldn’t expect to find
Bring me low, keep breaking me down
Like a tree that’s cut, watch me fall to the ground
I wish you could see, the pain I go through
To see someone else, spending time with you
Love is a war, that we don’t wish to fight
Each side is blind, and has no clear sight
I march on forward, defenses raised high
I’ll love you forever, that is no lie
You ran to him, and you didn’t look back
I told you to call, which threw you off track
He wanted a friend, so the fault was all mine
Please hear me out, just this one time
When you talk to him, I wish it were me
But you don’t feel the same,as I can see
Please give me a moment, one single day
It’s not my fault I can’t wish feelings away
Stumbling and drunk, I stand at your door
Nightmares each night, I can’t take it anymore
Insomnia strikes, I wish I could sleep
I tried to stand up, but then fell off my feet
Eyelids are heavy, I can’t lift them up
The cause of it all is, “I’m sickened by love.”
Love is amazing, it fills life with joy
But lately I feel, like my heart is a toy
Broken and lost, with no desire to find
This love is a game, that’s screwed up my mind
I want to just run, away from it all
I’m beginning to wish, I didn’t ask you to call
I cannot regret the choices I’ve made
Such as regretting, “What if I stayed?”
Everything happens for some kind of reason
Just like the change in all the four seasons
After the summer, the air becomes cold
The people you knew, are all starting to grow
Following the darkness, will surely be light
But the question I bare is, “Am I willing to fight?”
Am I willing to live, to simply survive?
To get through the cold, and still stay alive
The task is hard, but I’ll do what I can
Although I am down, I’ll make the effort to stand
I promise to stand but only for you
I’ll do my best to just make it through
I’ll make it through life, I promise I’ll try
Nobody really wants to give up and die
I threatened to jump, into an endless abyss
If I didn’t win your love, or deserve your kiss
But I can’t do it now, for it wouldn’t be right
So I’ll do you the favor of continuing to fight
I’m sorry you’re broken, I pray that you’ll heal
I know what it’s like to feel what you feel
That’s why I can’t disagree with you’re choice
I know what it’s like to follow your hearts lonely voice
Please forgive me…
