When You Love Someone

Sometimes, its all that you can do
Before it brings you to your knees
To hold your heart with all your might
So it won't slip in fantasy.

Sometimes, the soul will let you down
Will wrap you in false ecstasy
And break the very parts of you
That surrounds you with lost memories.

Sometimes, the mind will fool you
With hope that beats you raw
Will fill you with a sense of love
That's full of painful flaws.

You've seen and felt it all before
The heartache and the pain
And when it's all said and done
Broken pieces of your heart remain.

A shatter in the darkest night
Will give you shadows in your heart
Will hold your mind with all the hurt
Will rip your soul apart.

Comfort will not come to you
No matter how you try
Each stab of pain will knock you down
And show in every tear you cry.

That precious love will conquer you
It'll beat you black and blue
And leave you in the darkest night
When it is through with you.
