I thought we were meant to be
You said all the right things to me
I played the fool once again
Now my heart will never again unchain

Do not put all your eggs in one basket
Otherwise you build your heart a casket
A dark place to hide away from the hurt
A place to never again reemerge

I know it will be so easy
For you to just walk away
I know it will be so easy    
For me to lie and to stay away

You will go on with your life
And I will tell you I will go on with mine
I know it will be so easy
For me to also give up on me  

Someone else will catch your eye
You will never even glance into the rear-view mirror
I will not be the one to say goodbye
The glimmer of hope is not becoming clearer

Don't leave me now
I may not be perfect
I don't know how
To go on living without

I sit here alone upon my solitary throne    
All doors and this heart under lock and key
Thoughts keep swirling in my mind
One in particular still haunts me

Nobody will see what hides inside
I keep it all hidden under lock and key    
Had a lot of practice with my poker face
Locked in a closet with a skeleton key

You'll never know what gets to me
You never cared anyhow, not really
I've tried to let go of it all
But I will carry it all until eternity

The only way I could keep from return
Was to deal the final blow, you see    
I could not return to the deception
So I did what I did for me

Just a short though
I thought I'd quickly jot

To truly appreciate loyalty
One must first experience disloyalty

Even to be able to recognize what it is
One must go through the agony of what it is not.

just this week I don't feel as weak
i have fought the tears and fears
i tried but the tears won't fall nor will I falter again
still feeling numb and dumb
but I am just beginning to find my footing
and he no doubt will not find his feet ever again

I walk alone
Your words and songs still haunt me
I walk alone
Your memory holds me until someday I am free

You walk alone
I do not know what words and songs you will remember
You walk alone
For that is the road you have chosen for yourself, to not be free

I am tired of walking alone
Yet it is the only way I know how to go on these days
Walking alone.....one set of footprints only
For this way there is nothing holding me back and I will someday be free

How do I continue on when scars have not yet begun to form over open wounds
Wounds so deep that the river seems to flow and carry me on on endlessly never to find the sea
I have had hopes and dreams before, yet now I find myself unable to trust in hope once more
So many times I have been let down and have gotten lost on a stream that leads nowhere

Waiting for somebody to help me pick up the pieces, somebody please help me pick up the pieces
Knowing that I am the only one that can pick up the broken pieces and put the puzzle back together
Though some of the pieces are now missing, what will the final picture visualize
I have hoped for a long time that there will be other pieces to be found to finally find some peace
