Can you hear my breaking heart

For those who feel invisible. One of the key things that leads to relationship breakdowns is when people feel invisible. In a world where people are increasingly glued to some form of device, this disconnect is rising. Try to remember to connect with each other every day. Don't take each other for granted. Show you care. You might just save a life! A new song to inspire you! Can you hear my breaking heart? By Michelle Morris 05/08/2025 I stood in the middle of the room And wondered if anyone saw me Everyone watching something Everyone distracted from their lives A room filled with loved ones A family unit where we were meant to be together And yet each person became an island A distant place where no love reached Because those islands were fortresses Every distant moment building walls Until we were invisible to each other Lonely people who felt forlorn Can you see me? Can you see me? Can you see that I'm on fire? Can hear me? Can you hear me? Can you hear my soul crying? Can you feel me? Can you feel me? Can you feel the connection we had at the start? Can you hear it? Can you hear it? Can you hear my breaking heart? There's nothing to be done here Yet there's so much we could've tried This living past each other The secrets and the lies I once felt a kinship I once felt a little spark But then I realised it was my hope Trying to light up the dark Every room we filled with stuff Every moment and memory It all turned to ash in my mouth Because nothing was truly free Can you see me? Can you see me? Can you see that I'm on fire? Can hear me? Can you hear me? Can you hear my soul crying? Can you feel me? Can you feel me? Can you feel the connection we had at the start? Can you hear it? Can you hear it? Can you hear my breaking heart? And now we live on our islands It's survival of the coldest Because we're isolating our emotions Feeling nothing but our entertainment That television and that laptop That mobile phone and tablet Gadget upon gadget Forgetting we're human beings Nothing can replace us Our worth is more than riches When you lose someone you love You realise how irreplaceable love is Can you see me? Can you see me? Can you see that I'm on fire? Can hear me? Can you hear me? Can you hear my soul crying? Can you feel me? Can you feel me? Can you feel the connection we had at the start? Can you hear it? Can you hear it? Can you hear my breaking heart? Oh... Oh... Oh... Can you see me? Can you see me? Can you see that I'm on fire? Can hear me? Can you hear me? Can you hear my soul crying? Can you feel me? Can you feel me? Can you feel the connection we had at the start? Can you hear it? Can you hear it? Can you hear my breaking heart? Can you hear it? Can you hear it? Can you hear my breaking heart? Oh can you hear it? Can you hear it? Can you hear my broken heart? © Michelle Morris, 2025
