Broken Tune
Oh how fast your view may be
Oh how long the dance seems
I don't know anymore
I don't understand
At one time you held me close
At one time I was yours
Now I sit in darkened silence
Now I utter not a word
Wandering in the darkness
Wondering where you are
As you sit beside me
As you gaze is far away
My uttered words
My silent, loud pleas
Fall on deaf ears
Fall on broken roads
You don't hear the words I speak
You don't know my broken heart
Silently you're stuck where you are
Silently my tears trail down
Where are you in that world?
Where does that world end?
My heart beats to broken tunes
My dreams all but shatter
Is it more important then I?
Is that world worth more?
Don't you see?
Don't you know?
To dance this dance
To fall down this hole
Leads to broken homes
Leads to broken souls.
So many times
so many days
have come
have gone
Do you remember me?
Do you know I am here?
I want to tell you so much
I want to tell you my joys, sorrows
But a world unknown to me stole you away
But the choices you have made
Leave but a broken tune to be played.
