The same hands that bear the scars
Created heaven and earth and the stars
The same brow that bore the thorns
The crown of glory now adorns
The same heart that was pierced and broken
Now beats within us, finally awoken
The same man we crucified
Has been raised and glorified
He takes us in and loves us
Gives us purpose and focus
He teaches us to learn and improve
To listen and allow the spirit to move
God can take our wounds and make it
Something holy and even sacred
So, remember the wounds and the lessons
And even broken things become blessings
I can't believe I'm missing you,
After all the things you put me through.
Sleepless nights making sure you were alright,
Dreary days ensuring you were eating okay.
You never wanted to be seen in public,
So we never went on dates.
All the ways you would curse yourself,
All the compliments you gave me, that felt like insults in disguise.
When I got in trouble for the times I'd meet up with you 9th period,
And I had to talk to that counselor that I didn't like.
The way his office was so blank,
It made me uncomfortable.
The days I had to walk by the street,
Because you liked drifting too close the speeding cars.
After all the things you put me through,
I can't believe I'm missing you.
I really wish she'd get out of my head.

Have you ever been in-love?
I can't stand to be too far away,
looking at my phone every second of the day,
questioning if he ate? Is he ok?
My mind is all over the place, too in love to see his wrongs, I hear his lies and skip along,
oh how naive I was wanting to be loved.
Too bad I was just a toy for him to play with
whenever he liked.
The love I have for him doesn't want to leave,
still in the pocket of my top sleeve.
I know, I know, I deserve better,
but I always wonder, just what if…what if he loved me?

I know nothing about tomorrow
But I sure know what it feels like.

A bed with empty spaces
sleeping beside women with different faces.
To try and forget what lingers in my dreams
to try and remember love without the we.

Yet here we are clinging to uncertain wishes
still I wish for you in a million chances.

Now, I might say It's all said and done
Waking up another day without the one.

You wore a coat of deceit,
Promising that we would meet.
I laid my heart bare in your palms,
You made it a puppet - strings and all.
Whilst I held my breath
And counted the days,
You warmed another's bed
And continued your games.
I tried to reason with myself,
But the flames in my heart burned too well.
You lied that you needed time
And that everything would be fine,
But wrecked souls lay in your wake,
You just know how to take.
And now, as I rip your knife out of my chest,
Only sorrow remains behind this lonely breast.
The pain of being emotionally manipulated, drained and cheated on by someone you once cared deeply for

I thought that shattered people couldn't be mended
That they were lost from what was real
But I learned that people don't shatter: they bleed
And bleeding people heal

She sat staring into the blackness where her heart had once been the love she felt for him lays broken amongst the shadows where she has walked many times before breaking a little more everytime soon there will be nothing left to break and she will become cold and make this darkness her home.
