Farewell Numbness

Listen to the sound of my heart, pounding Emotions sparking in my veins, astounding One simple touch from you, electric shock And I was so sure I had my heart on lock You snuck in and found the key Found a way to set my emotions free Now what is to become of me? You stole my heart, and now you flee When I think of you, my head spins Your voice can make my strong will bend How am I to love again? You stole the key, immortal sin One and only, you said yourself Forever and ever, through sickness and through health You are gone, love turned to betrayal How foolish I was, because I fell Still I'll remember those days together I'll pray that you'll look up the definition of "forever" Bring back my heart and the key I'll put myself on lock again, never free Emotions held tightly on a string Because without you, no emotions bring No happiness, no faith, no loneliness, no ache You stole my heart, so there's nothing to break Numbness is the only thing that prevails I just hope there's never a day when the numbness fails I will soon become derailed Lunatic heartache if the numbness bails. .
