Reading your words, dripping with sincerity
The way you described your love for her
Makes me wonder how you breathe
The darkness that surrounds you
Demons picking at your heart
Nothing shows it clearly
Except words from your heart
Puzzle pieces fitting
Pictures becoming clear
Dreams once full of life and happiness
Collapsed when she was no longer there
Things that became so easy
Left your heart cold and bare
The touch of her hand could ignite you
Now it would tear you to shreds
There colors of your eyes fade to gray
Whenever someone reminds you of her
You forget the words to say
Whenever someone says her name
There is no shame in hurting
There is no shame in pain
When it's driving you insane
I never would've have figured it out
I still don't have you figured out
I'll never have you figured out
Because you hide it so well
But the words that speak from your soul
Are the only things that will tell
Because you're lying
Even to yourself
