Heavy Hearted
Happiness can be elusive, no matter how hard you try
No matter how much you give and how long the lie
One day you’ll awake and begin asking yourself why
But for Heaven’s sake, I never thought I would cry
For happiness is in the heart which often leads the way
Always being the biggest part in often leading us astray
When will I ever learn to just close that broken door
For by now I simply yearn to not hear it anymore
But I can’t change and my heart is well aware
Saying “you tried to derange, so now fair is fair
But back then I didn’t care, so wrong, I admit!
The both of us standing bare, neither willing to quit
Then in staring each other down I began to notice
He too was wearing a frown, one I could not miss
Making me finally realize after all of those long years
All those broken down cries were really all his tears
