another day
another face
another careless glance away

can't you see i just don't have anything left to give
my heart's no longer mine to give away

longing eyes stare my way
and i just don't know what to say

It's not like i want to feel this way
I want to live a normal life
carefree and strong
instead i feel helpless, weak, and empty
no matter who attempts to save me

It's him you see, that made me this way
took my heart and held it tight
squeezed it with all this might

he just didn't know his own strenthg
he squeezed my heart and made it break

now he won't help clean up his mess
the pieces are scattered around his feet

he stands there and looks dumbfounded
not knowing what to so
should he stay and help
or get up and move

and though it's my heart that's broken
I feel this urge to try and help him
he seems so puzzled at what he's done
as if it hurts when he thought it'd be fun

He looks at me as if he's in pain
this wasn't the right way to play the game

he tried to reach out and grab my hand
but then she grabs his hand instead

suddenly his frown is gone
and jealousy flares behind my eyes
all i hear from his mouth are lies
my hope for the future quickly dies

i sink again

he isn't there to hold me close
he isn't telling me it'll be okay
he's holding her hand and walking away
