A strangled cry falls from my lips
in the middle of the night
remembering the past
wishing to make it right
i tried so hard to make it work
i gave my whole heart
i only feel a void
whenever we're apart
a year later now
i cry myself to sleep
love lost? love had?
nay a love i'll always keep
get over her they say
but how to do just that?
another crying fit
and that is when i tap
it's a long fight
one i'll never win
i lost my heart and soul
how do you find them again?
is it even right
to "get over" a love?
if its tru and good,
you're saying no to a gift from above.
a night in bed
a daytime quick
then cry myself to sleep
because it makes me sick
alone i'd rather be
then cheat on my love
peace of mind would be nice
but i can't find the dove
millions of reasons,
or just one,
to pull a trigger
killed by a gun.
"he followed his heart
it governed his life
all he ever wanted
was krissie as his wife"
a slight of hand and tombstones read,
they show our one true soul
for those who understand
and finally loved one's know
it's all clear now!
is what they will say
but now i'm dead and gone,
now there is no way
to turn his life around
and finally make her see
how good and pure,
his true love can be.
all that's left to see
a thin slit on each wrist
and a crumpled note
we found clenched in his fist
to my funeral
would she even show?
or is she lost to me
the only one i truly know?
i tried to hide my past
to protect her from it's hurt
but then it all got out
and now i feel like dirt
i never should have loved
i should have stayed alone
saved myself from the bliss
and love that i have known
true love is a disease
a cancer of the soul
it never goes away
it always plays a role
what would krissie do?
i ask that every day
it's how i make a choice
it is the only way
can i ever get her back?
should i even hope?
or just drink it away
and call myself a dope
an acid tear is rolling
gently down my cheek
i know i'll never heal
my heart is just too weak
but from those that i know
it's a secret i will keep
and now i bid ado
i must go to sleep. |
