A pain sits here down in my heart
something that won't leave or depart
It's something I think is broken inside
something i think I need to hide

My arms they ache when you're not around
The pain is so real it sends me to the ground
Dear God how do I live like this so broken and in pain
You've become my remedy but also my bane!

I can't take this much longer it drives me insane
This is the worst I'll take any other pain!
My heart is breaking and my chest has a hole
I've had this so long it starts to get dull

But not tonight, tonight it's a flame
Like a fire that burns and cannot be tame
Tonight it's a river swollen and rushing
A wind that never dies blowing never hushing

Tonight it's a void so wide and so empty
nothing could fill it however much in plenty
the pain is physical and I drop to my knees
I can't stay like this what if someone else sees?

This love that's been hidden is tearing me apart
how much longer must I wait before we can start
my heart is going to die, my arms begin to break
the tears they run down, no they're not fake

The night draws nigh another day comes to a close
time alone with my thoughts, to think and repose
tomorrow I pray all the pain will all be gone
start afresh and anew with the rising of a new dawn
