Repair Me If You Dare

Repair my tear inside my heart The moment you broke it apart Restore grace to my verses of vanity It’s uncanny you’re not here with me Repair me (if you care), I’m an unstable chair and a broken table You clearly don’t care anymore, anymore, anymore Repair me (if you dare), this nightmare is beyond unbearable You clearly don’t care and it’s unfair to the core I swear you should repair my torn soul and heart Ever since you broke it all apart from the start I comfort myself in dismay as I hurt myself this shining day So far, I am numb inside and hardly any pain to tear away Unfocused and afraid of the darkness that surrounds me so It’s so unreal and distressful that you left me behind in utter woe Recognizing that you’re a living nightmare amongst my dreams Repair me if you even care to do so as I fall at the seams it seems Killing away the ache inside my heart The moment you shred me all apart Restore my peace without strife in mind It’s uncanny that you and I are so blind Repair me (if you care), I’m an unstable chair and a broken table You clearly don’t care anymore, anymore, anymore Repair me (if you dare), this nightmare is beyond unbearable You clearly don’t care and it’s unfair to the core I swear you should repair my torn soul and heart Ever since you broke it all apart from the start I comfort myself in dismay as I hurt myself this shining day So far, I am numb inside and hardly any pain to tear away Unfocused and afraid of the darkness that surrounds me so It’s so unreal and distressful that you left me behind in utter woe Recognizing that you’re a living nightmare amongst my dreams Repair me if you even care to do so as I fall at the seams it seems I recall all the times we spent together Thought you and I were forever, never Thought you and I would be torn to naught, naught, naught What have we become? A numb sensation, lost a lot? We could of have it all in the end But, you ruined it and it went away All over again, I need a way to mend I didn’t mean to see you go today Repair me (if you care), I’m an unstable chair and a broken table You clearly don’t care anymore, anymore, anymore Repair me (if you dare), this nightmare is beyond unbearable You clearly don’t care and it’s unfair to the core I swear you should repair my torn soul and heart Ever since you broke it all apart from the start I comfort myself in dismay as I hurt myself this shining day So far, I am numb inside and hardly any pain to tear away Unfocused and afraid of the darkness that surrounds me so It’s so unreal and distressful that you left me behind in utter woe Recognizing that you’re a living nightmare amongst my dreams Repair me if you even care to do so as I fall at the seams it seems Disappear with me without a single fear Tear away the endless sorrow that gives us no glad-so-many tomorrows Cheer away the feeling of shedding a tear Repair away the nothing I’ve become and numb away the pain that shows I’ll know how to show you true today I care about you the most, doubtless to say, but hey — I’ll show you a glow your solemn way I’ll repair you, even if you don’t care for me some say Repair me (if you care) Repair me (if you dare) If you dare to care about my lonely pain, Share with me your blessed love, my love You are up in the air, another day of no rain, You’re a beloved, lovely dove from above — dedicated and inspired by Johnny Cash’s song entitled “Hurt”

Sometimes tables are fairly easy to repair but human emotions not so easy. I don't know if I ever heard that one by Johnny Cash. I will have to listen to it. Thank you for sharing this one with us and for dropping by my page. I did look it up and decided it must have been written after June died. Sara

Wow, such powerful lyrics that you’ve so excellently penned, JW! One can feel the pain of rejection and misunderstanding that flows forth in your wirds. There is a rhythmic cadence to it, as well, as lyrics should have. You did very well crafting this great piece! Thanks for sharing it! :)
