Heartsick

My whole chest feels like it is about to cave in
My head feels like it is about to explode
I loved you with the strength of 10,000 men
But our love hit a lonely dead end road
                    I'm heartsick over you
                     and there is no cure
                    I'm heartsick for you
                     my love was so pure
My eyes are red from the tears I've cried
I needed you desperately it was crazy, I guess
My knees are sore from the prayers I've tried
But for you I did what I thought was for the best
                    I'm heartsick over you
                     and there is no cure
                    I'm heartsick for you
                     my love was too pure
