I don't know why they say you broke my heart
when really you broke my brain
because my heart keeps beating
but my mind will never be the same

Broken promises you were supposed to keep
stuck in a wave pool with anchors tied to my feet
put my hands up
try to grasp for air
but when I reach the surface I see no one is there
and for a moment I let my hands rest to my side
sinking under, as I let myself disappear with the tide.

It seems I can only get a glimpse of the sun when it comes around
Maybe I am meant to live in a house with the shades all down
But that's what it is, always a house never a home
with the occasional visitor, but inevitably alone

You took a piece of me
just an incomplete puzzle remains
I don't know why they say you broke my heart
when really you broke my brain
