The Bleeding Hearts

The Bleeding Hearts By Kevin Robey August 23, 2014 Is it real or is it fake? The high, bright lines of my mistakes? Is it fate or circumstance That brought an end to this romance? Have you seen the ugly truth? Forgotten dreams left in our youth Then you'll know the things I see All the things we'll never be We write it off cause life's not fair The saddest ones, we're self-aware Falling short of who we are The carrot chase is way too far Is it right, or is it wrong? To never sing, we cry along Are we fact or fallacy? Too many things we'll never be The bleeding hearts will never stop With every tear we never sought But we will find the brightest lights The beacons through the darkest nights
