I can't pretend that this is okay
Oh I can't fake another smile
And push the pain away
Lately I haven't been me I've been gutted out
No good explanation for the feelings that come out
And I keep hesitating can't get out of bed
The pain in my heart or the heaviness in my head
Weigh my down and I'm told all I need is time
The hands aren't moving on this clock of mine
Let me shed this pain body and let me be me
I can only say I'm sorry and let you watch me bleed
Til the tears are dry and my mind is returns
With the gift of another harsh lesson learned
I guess it's my turn now
To bury my face
And clench my hands
On my pillow case
Closed the door never open again
No more you and me as family
Lovers or friends
I thought I was better than this heart break mess
But I'm sure I had it coming I must confess
Doesn't it make it any easier to know I'm to blame
Stuck feeling like I'm dying or going insane
Let me shed this pain body and let me be me
I can only say I'm sorry and you can watch me leed
Til the tears are dry and my mind returns
WIth the gift of another harsh lesson learned
I can't pretend that I'm doing okay
But I still know tomorrow is another day
And with each day brings healing
Tween the sun and the moon
I just wish the sweet relief would get here soon
It's all so final
This type of goodbye
No more questions to ask
Or reasons to provide
Nothing to fix
Nothing left to hold on
One day it's so real
And the next day gone
But I'll move on
and inside this pain
The brightest light of peace
Is what will remain
Knowing I will find another
I will love again
But I'm stuck here drowning in the sadness
Waiting for it to end
