Broken Within

You can't take back a moment you've already had.
Or undo the words you've said when you're mad
That's the trick of the trade when it comes round today
Just remember the feelings when you're put through the same.

You can't change a memory, oh try as you may
It's gonna stick with ya, til it's your dying day
Others won't see it as it tears you within
But try not to keep it all bottled again

You can't hear a heart breaking, only beating within
It's hard to believe you'll feel worthy again
You hold all your pieces and try not to cry
Til one day the heavy just hurts you to try

Try as you may, someone will still come around
Wanting to help you get up off the ground
So hold out your hand and trust once again
But remember tread lightly... you're still broken within

Maybe, just maybe, they'll truly want to glue you together
But then, once again, you may need something better
One who won't care all the hurt you unload
They'll simply love you forever cause they want you to hold

So though you can't lose a moment or words that you've had
Remember the good ones, the hard, and the sad
They've made you the person that you are here today
And to the great person to love you some day

Pain In These Eyes

You don’t see it, now do you? The pain in these eyes
From all of the nights I’ve laid here and cried
I try not to think Or wonder so hard
But then what’s the use? I’m still broken inside

It hurts all the more when I try to forget
Cause it’s a burn to the heart when you’re all that I miss
My heart’s growing weary like it’s run a long race
When really I’m broken from seeing your face

A dream makes it harder, oh so hard to forget
Because it’s worse than the moment ‘cause you leave me again
I’m holding together and I let no one in
But I’m kicking and screaming on the inside again

I’m battered and broken from my hopes, all, once more
I’ve got to stop hoping there’ll ever be more

I was bent, now you broke me from all that’s within
You don’t see it, now do you? I can’t take this again
If I open my heart up and show you once more
I come back more hopeless ‘cause you’ve left me again

When my smile’s around just know that it’s true
I’ve learned from the greatest, longer you fake: it’s not you
I know you don’t see it, oh, the pain in these eyes
But then what’s the difference I’m drowning in lies

Soon you’ll look up and wonder why I’m no longer there
Cause I’ve drown in my sorrows while you thought you were fair
Don’t miss me no really, it’s not what you deserve
You never once asked me how I was doing within

So take all your pieces, your memories, just go
You never showed me I mattered, please leave me…. Just go.
