Broken Heart

I have a question for you
I know you hate to be asked
I was just wondering something
I promise I’ll make it fast.

How many more times do you think
My heart can stand to be broken
You have almost torn it in two
Sometimes with a word not spoken. 

I hear words from your lips
I read words that you write
Sometimes both of these
Cause me such a fright.

Why can’t this all be done with
Why can’t you just let her go
My heart is growing weaker
With every single blow.

So if you have an answer
I would love to hear your reply
My heart wishes to stop hurting
So please don’t tell me any lies.
