when there's nothing but pain ahead
and i stand all alone
i've gotta believe i'll make it through it
just have to wait until the tears are gone
i know i'll have no where to rest my head
or have a shoulder to cry on
but i have come to accept that in his arms
is where i never could belong
before i go to sleep each night
i won't think of him at all
i've packed away our memories
taken his pictures off my wall
i won't have anyone to dance with in the pouring rain
going from day to day saying i don't need anyone
living my life in vain
yes, there are times when i sit alone and wonder to myself
when will it be time for me to hold hands with someone
instead of watching everybody else
still somedays there is a tugging at my heart
and there is a loneliness in these eyes
those days i'm thinking of him
in the unseen tears in memories i reside
how does one go about
picking up the millions of pieces of their broken heart?
you wonder how the hell did that happen?
and where do i start?
how does one go about
relearning how to live?
when all everyone else did was take
all they were able to give
in the past i had built a solid wall
around my heart
to protect whatever else i may hold dear
believe me i tried to tear down those walls for the next time
despite all of my greatest fears
when the foundation finally crumbled
and you were able to see
you saw a shell of a broken soul
a soul that once was me
when i nearly drowned in sorror
you brought me back up to i could trust
i hardly knew you and yet you cared for me
i thought that was enough
days went by
and i liked you more and more
then a few days past and you would hardly talk to me
i think i knew what for
but i'm becoming stronger with each passing day
believing what mattered most eventually slipped away
i'm sorry i fell in love with you
i just had to let you know
that loving you has been painful
and i think it's time to finally let you go
