This icy heart can still fracture,
Into sharp shards that burn like fire,
I will never show the pain to you,
Unable to bear a soul that's see-through

But how am I supposed to hold it in,
When everything you do reminds me of him,
As I sit alone at a table set for two,
Waiting on another man who doesn't come through?

How am I supposed to forget my past,
When the scars I bear continue to last,
And we try to be something precious,
But I die inside from each poisonous kiss,

Because I can't hold the pain I once held again,
I was finally figuring out how to play pretend,
Until you came in and let me down over and over again,
Darling, you can still break something that is broken.
Even when we try to grow a thick skin from the past, some things still cut beneath the surface.
