Heartbreak

Since then I couldn't
Inside my heart
Beneath my pain
I didn't have the time to heal
Underneath all that pain and all those tears
Up until now
I didn't take the step
Across all that pain you put me through

Behind me is where I want to put this heartbreak
Thoughout my life I lived hurt, scared, lost
During that time all I could think was why me

Inside me is a new fire
The fire to take the pain and become stronger
Among me is not you 
Except when I think of what you did to me
Underneath my skin
Inside my heart
Is the most terrible heartbreak yet
