Broken Love

I can never let you go
But I can't let you win
You grasped hold of my heart
Quickly forcing your way in

When you break my heart
It shatters just like glass
A million pieces shining brightly
It happens just so fast!

I can't let you see how
You cause me so much pain
So instead I disguise my tears
By crying in the rain

But what do I do in summer sun
How can I hide it from you?
I won't let you see how my eyes water
It's hurtful to say but true

So I pick up a pair of sunglasses
Fragile like my broken love
Yet they endure the burning heat
That streams from up above

You can't see my hurt
If behind my shades I hide
You will never see the damage
That you do me inside

This broken way of being
Seems to be just fine
You never notice what you do
And I never show a sign

It takes just a word for you
To show how I'm just there
You never comment on my clothes
Or the way I've done my hair

It doesn't matter how I dress
To me it's much the same
But I do it to impress you
To make you say my name

We're together but I'm lonely
Like we're gulfs apart
Separated by an unfeeling sea
Or the cracks of a broken heart

It's painful to see you ignore me
I'm almost beyond despair
You say you love me but you lie
You couldn't really care

So I shall hide my inner turmoil
All that trouble and strife
And I may have to leave you
So I can save my own life

I love you so much it kills me
Throbbing through my core
But how can I ever hope to stay
When you're always wanting more?
