Heavy Hearted

Happiness can be elusive, no matter how hard you try No matter how much you give and how long the lie One day you’ll awake and begin asking yourself why But for Heaven’s sake, I never thought I would cry For happiness is in the heart which often leads the way Always being the biggest part in often leading us astray When will I ever learn to just close that broken door For by now I simply yearn to not hear it anymore But I can’t change and my heart is well aware Saying “you tried to derange, so now fair is fair But back then I didn’t care, so wrong, I admit! The both of us standing bare, neither willing to quit Then in staring each other down I began to notice He too was wearing a frown, one I could not miss Making me finally realize after all of those long years All those broken down cries were really all his tears
