The Heartbreak Just Keeps Coming
The heartbreak just keeps coming
(Why can't we live forever like in a dream?)
By Michelle Morris

You want to scream out loud
Tell the people to go away
Leave you the hell alone
Give you space to grieve your way
It sucks and it's painful and thorny
It's hell on earth and you're in the middle
You sit down in the shower and wait
You're waiting for the water to cleanse your pain
Chorus:
Oh, the heartbreak just keeps coming
Is it possible that it's shattering through the Universe?
Does every atom know the brutal truth?
That love can kill you without a bullet?
Oh, the heartbreak just keeps going
On and on through every fibre of your being
Why do people have to die on us?
Why can't we live forever like in a dream?
(End Chorus)
You want to go into the desert
Be away from all the crowds
Maybe you can start to think again
Give you space to grieve in nature
Lie under the blanket of stars each night
Have the Universe comfort you gently
And when the storm lashes in a flash
You can wash away the demons who prey
Chorus
And there you can build a monument
To all the broken dreams in the world
Inspire all the broken hearted ones
To remember to have faith and hope
Over millions of miles and galaxies
There are threads of light and sanity
All our love connects us forever
And our screams are heard and healed
Chorus
Why can't we live forever like in a dream?
Why can't we live forever like in a dream?
