Your Pain
Your pain
Why do I feel your pain still
When I left of my own free will
My mind is heavy with the burdens you build
Yet my heart is still tender
And vulnerable to your every will
When you’re hurting and making bad choices
Your voice still touches my every emotion
How is it that I still feel your pain
Even when I have nothing left to gain
Yes, I love you still
But be with you, I never, ever will.
You had my heart from the very start
And slowly our love began to part
Two became one, until one was none
Off in separate ways for more than 365 days
So how is it that to this day
Your pain still finds its way
Into my life and in my heart where it stays
