Silence In My Heart

SILENCE IN MY HEART
BY MICHELLE MORRIS

I can't believe we're over;
My mind is struggling to 
Comprehend. 
All those nights we spent in 
Our own heaven;
Make it difficult to sink in. 

So I know I have to move on;
Without you and be strong;
Despite the missing you part, 
So acute inside my heart. 

Chorus 
Yeah, I packed up all my feelings for you;
Put them in a chest and locked it tight;
Walked around the empty rooms;
The silence in my heart
In echoes heard. 
(End Chorus) 

But moving on isn't a straight road, 
On a map to heart's freedom;
It's dark and has twists and turns, 
That can cause a lot of friction burn. 

And you might find yourself alone, 
Stuck in a foreign place, 
That aching, yearning pull;
Of cognitive dissonance. 

Because even when
You're sure about leaving, 
You might regret it - 
Once you find the 
Grass isn't always greener. 

Chorus
