This Broken Heart
This broken heart reaches for something, but it will just keep reaching
And it breaks even more the farther it wanders, yet it's still so set on meeting
Another one. it tries so hard to keep itself together
Because it knows i can't possibly do any better
It knows that I've been crying a lot
By how my throat feels as tight as a knot
And it knows that I'm NOT ok. The pain gets worse, my world turns grey
And if it could speak and i could hear it, it wouldn't really know what to say
Except to tell me that it knows EXACTLY how i feel
And the way we hurt is so unreal
What we've experienced can ONLY work to make us stronger
And help us hold on even longer.
Because it would be a disaster for the both of us to break
Life makes things complicated, and sometimes this life can be so much to take
But we're one in the same, my heart and me; me and my heart
It would tell me not to worry, that we're both smart
That time heals EVERYTHING and the unseen
No matter how impossible it all may seem
