Heavy Hearted

Happiness can be elusive, no matter how hard you try 
No matter how much you give and how long the lie
One day you’ll awake and begin asking yourself why
But for Heaven’s sake, I never thought I would cry

For happiness is in the heart which often leads the way 
Always being the biggest part in often leading us astray 
When will I ever learn to just close that broken door 
For by now I simply yearn to not hear it anymore 

But I can’t change and my heart is well aware 
Saying “you tried to derange, so now fair is fair 
But back then I didn’t care, so wrong, I admit!
The both of us standing bare, neither willing to quit 

Then in staring each other down I began to notice 
He too was wearing a frown, one I could not miss 
Making me finally realize after all of those long years 
All those broken down cries were really all his tears
