Broken

As the tears stream down my face
I wonder how we got to this place
why did you leave and walk away
In this darkness, I can't find my way

Love is like a knife it cuts too deep
Breaking your heart and leaving you weak
An open wound that will not heal
The endless pain is all I feel

Time and again I look back to those days
all the laughter and smiles we had it made
Those memories will never fade
And They will be with me always

You left without saying goodbye
you made me break down and cry
This loneliness is too much to bare
I've been looking for you everywhere

I gave you everything I had to give
without you, there's no reason to live
A broken heart that will not heal
I wish you knew how I feel

In this emptiness all, I can see 
is you smiling back at me
Your eyes touch my very soul
making me lose all control

I find myself lost in a dream
you and I were the perfect team
But you left and walked away
Leaving me broken and in a daze

Now I sit here looking back to the day
wondering why you left and went away
No words spoken
Just my heart left broken
