Bottled up inside
Are the words I never said,
The feelings that I hide,
The lines you never read.
You can see it in my eyes,
Read it on my face,
Trapped inside are lies,
Of the past I can't replace.
With memories that linger-
Won't seem to go away
Why can't I be happier?
Today's a brand new day.
Yesterday's are over,
Even though the hurting's not.
Nothing lasts forever
I must cherish what I've got.
Don't take my love for granted,
For soon it will be gone-
All you ever wanted
Of the love you thought you'd won.
The hurt I am feeling now,
Won't disappear overnight,
But someway, somehow,
Everything will turn out alright.
No more wishing for the past,
It wasn't meant to be.
It didn't seem to last,
So I have to set him free

My Heart Is Failing
My heart is failing
My body is weak
I am wailing
I cannot speak
I am all broken
I'm shot all to hell
No words can be spoken
To break this spell
I am a dying sun
I have sung my last song
Nothing can be done
To right what is wrong
I will cast off my strife
And slip away in the night
I shall not leave this life
I shall walk towards the light

Broken Tears
I cry each night
For the love I lost
You left me out in the rain
Picking up the pieces to my broken heart
I ask myself now
How long am I going to cry?
How many broken tears
Will it take to fill the hand
Which held my heart
That was so vulnerable?
How could I have been so dumb?
To think I could fall in love
Again so soon?
You told me I was the one
You had been waiting for
I let you work your
Magic potion and now
I am paying your price
Each painful tear I cry
Is for each boastful, heartless
Time you tell your story to your friends
How many tears
Will it take
To fill your hand
Which broke my heart?
When can I get over you?
