No Beating Heart But Im Still Breathing
you almost broke my heart
but it had already ran away
too afriad to be left so vulnerable
a coward to face love
now i feel as if im dead
no beating heart, replaced by a confused head
but if i have no heart beating in my chest
how am i still breathing
living a life that seems to have reached
a dead end
i am dead
but somehow i am still breathing
there must be a reason im still alive
living this life at a dead end
walking among the living
with no beating heart
and only a confused head
