To the One Who Can Heal This Heart...Kudos and Good Luck
Lingering memories don’t fade away
Shadowy figures leading the way
Your mind always opens bleeding the past
The scars never healed and the pain, it lasts
The wounds being opened time and time again
Holding your hand and letting go again
Saying one thing yet doing another
You’re giving up on a heart that loves no other
Why is this happening, why won’t you let go
Quit pulling my strings and just show me where to go
My mind is spinning heart thrashing in my chest
I have no more pieces so I’ll just gather what’s left
Moving on is always the hardest part
Although when you’re gone I’ll finally have a heart
It’s gaping with holes this I know
It’s been used and abused and put on for a show
I was praying your hands would be the healing type
But the remains fell through them as you walked on by
