My Heart Belongs To You

Another night surrounds me 
In this God forsaken place
Deafened by the silence
As tears roll down my face

All we were together
I never dreamed I’d go
From being someone who you loved
To who you used to know

Voices ring inside my head
Desperate to be heard
Scream out in the darkness, but
I never hear a word

Wasting yet another day
Living in the past
I know I have no future
While I hide behind this mask

Staring at the telephone
Still waiting for your call
I’d rather have you hurting me
Than not have you at all

I'm holding onto yesterday
And every memory
Living in the shadows
Of who we used to be

Though you're gone…you're everywhere
Nothing feels the same 
How can I move on 
When my heart still beats your name…

I only pray that someday soon
You will finally see
That while my heart belongs to you 
Yours still belongs to me...
