Broken hearted

Your love is like a mystery

Always misleading and unfair

Whenever I think I am close

I haven’t gotten anywhere

 

You always shut me out

Whenever I open my heart

You’d rather be somewhere else

So very far apart

 

I want to give you my all

And show you just how much I care

But, I can never seem to reach you

Darling, you’re never there

 

Trying to touch your heart

Is like trying to touch a star

No matter how hard I try

I’m always so very far

 

I want to get to know you

I want you to know me

I want to hold you in my arms

But, you would rather be alone and free

 

I don’t know what to do

I want to win your heart

I’ve tried everything that I can

But, I always end up with a broken heart

 

I guess that we’re not meant to be

Maybe I should just let you go

But, for some reason deep down inside

I am dying to know

 

Why it is you are the way that you are?

Why do you push me away?

How can I prove to you how much I love you?

Just tell me what I need to do and say

 

These questions burn within my heart

Like a fire in the night

If only there was a way to change you

But, I know that wouldn’t be right

 

I know I need to let you go

I have to set you free

I don’t want to waste my time

On someone who doesn’t care about me

 

However, there is one thing

That I do want you to know

Even after all we’ve been through

I’ll always love you so
