Tear out a fresh piece of my heart and leave it hollow.
It doesn't hurt; I've gone too numb to feel it.
My life, my love, my shattered dreams lie scattered
As I watch this world collapse upon itself -
Hear every agonized cry and see the utter despair.
I mourn, not for myself, but for a life I couldn't live,
A life too bright to bear, a happiness too heavy on my soul;
And so I weep, inside and out, and feel the strain -
My burden borne on crumbling shoulders,
Slipping from my body to break apart at my feet.
