When life takes its toll you'll want them to remember you,
Remember you for who you are and not what you were
So help me God I'm different I can feel this conversion
Inside I've been changed I was stretched to a higher limit
Given new found wisdom I never knew
I was enlightened with life's profound
Unique, exquisite, yet oh so fateful touch
When I was born again with a new mind, a new soul, a new beginning
But the one thing I'll never get back was a new heart...
You see December 3rd my heart was stolen away me,
Grabbed right out from under me and lost for all eternity
I lost a part of myself that day and it's forever missed
Pictures and drawings and words past written
Remind me it's all still there waiting to come home
Longing for that once found place where it could rest in pieces,
The only one who knows it, is blinded to its presence
That shadow that walks by her side, the sunshine in her hair
The whisper in her ear, the beat in her heart, that imaginary friend,
Who will always be there until the very end...
I'll wear this broken heart
As a banner raised high,
To remind everyone who knows it
What it's like to fall in love
To let the world know
Whose name is tattooed on it,
And I'll forever lay my head to sleep
Knowing that this heartache is mine alone to keep
Because you never know what you got till it's gone...
