Lonely Heart

Why does my lonely heart still smile
It’s been up, it’s been down
Haven’t felt this pain in a while
We turned to the bottle
Thought we’d just about
Hit rock bottom
Emotional beats were trodden
Sad old streets forgotten
The leaves didn’t fall this autumn
Instead we braved the dark clouds
And our worst horrors
Still don’t want to face tomorrow
Haunted by the shadows
And the sinking sorrow
They say that better days will come
I’m riding the waves of the pain
Until I’m numb
Just hoping my good grace will be saved
By the grave when my time is done
We battled and prayed
Until the war was won
After all and all the while
Somehow my lonely heart still smiles
