Her heart sunk down into her chest
It rolled inward on itself
the pressure became too much
and life became deceiving
a weight, dropped down on a heart
that couldn't stop bleeding
he knew he was in the wrong
and never could explain
he tried to answer all her questions
so she couldn't feel the pain
but none of that worked
and every night he tried
she said the beauty's in the attempt
he said his tears are running dry
emotions are at a standstill
everything feels the same
routine made him hurt
but only she felt the pain
he drank that fifth of ***
because it was all he could feel
