My heart gets tighter, tighter
The pain gets brighter, brighter
My eyes gaze upon his receding figure
He still has such a strong allure
The tears run fast, fast
The torture will last, last
I long to pull you back
Into my embrace where you have a knack
For giving me the love I lack
But you keep going farther, farther
And my world gets darker, darker
The longing tugs at my heart
Giving me a start
The heartache
I don't know if I can take
Soon my heart will begin to break
It's pieces I will have to rake
Out of the gutters and the lakes
Hoping that I will still wake
For my love, who I love, and who showed me what love is.
