Broken and Torn

To be read while listening to Paul Spaeth's "Truth in Soul" Hide away my fragile heart. Hide your face from the pain, That threatens to tear you apart. Put away all your hopes and dreams For tomorrow only brings A love that isn't what is seems. Turn away from the hope. Turn away from the dream. Close your eyes and turn away From the love that you once knew. Let it not, hold sway Over all that is you. Do not depend on their words anymore Just turn and leave your spirit on the floor. None of them will care if you come or go (they won't know) Stop trying to tell yourself they will change (you know they won't) No more lying to yourself, no more trying to prove That all this time it was love they gave to you. If you continue down this path you know, Where it leads, Eventually, One small push is all that they need. To crush the one emotion left that is true. Close your eyes and turn away From the love that you once knew. Let it not, hold sway Over all that is you. Take your life and run away, Run where the mighty winds blow Take your life and run away Heal the brokenness only you can know Take your life and run away Face the light of the rising sun Take your life and run away Know your decision was the right one. (Repeat 2 times) Take your life and run away, Run where the mighty winds blow Take your life and run away Heal the brokenness only you can know Then you will know this freedom Then you will know this love Then you will see those who truly mean The love the poets have spoken of. (repeat 2 times) Then you will know Love has a voice Then you will know A true friend's choice.
