The Secret

Imagine not knowing your heart and your head Work together so well that it fills you with dread When your heart is broken, your head feels it too Depression and sadness pierces right through Because it hurts You put your head and your heart into loving someone And now they’re not there your life is over and done Let the sadness take over and fall into the arms Of the waiting reaper and all of his charms Because it hurts There’s no way out, no way up, only down Down through earth and water, to bury, to drown ‘To get the release that only death offers me Because this is the only way that I can see’ Because it hurts But there is someone who loves you, and hurts when you do But doesn’t want to risk saying the words ‘ I love you’ For the effort is wasted when you no longer bide But you’ll go without knowing that a part of them died Because it hurts them too
