"Broken Heart"
The tears began to well up in my eyes,
I wondered what is life worth?
I fought myself, not wanting to cry,
Why am I so miserable on Earth?
My hopes and dreams were shattered,
I just didn't care anymore,
I didn't care what mattered,
I collapsed to the floor.
I grabbed a pillow and covered my face,
Trying to drown out the sound,
I felt life was a pure disgrace,
No one was ever around.
I have lost my reason to live,
Why is there so much pain,
Why do I feel like I have to give,
Why can't I be the one to gain?
Lord, can't you see my heart,
And all the pain within?
Why did my life have to be torn apart,
Why is there so much sin?
I feel like no one cares,
No one tells me otherwise,
Why can't I feel you there,
I only see gray skies.
Lord, then you stop me and say,
Honey I care for you so much,
I wish you could see it my way,
I wish you could feel my touch.
I know you feel it's a loss,
But that is not true,
For you I died on the cross,
Believe me I will never leave you.
Just let go of your burden,
I told you it would be light,
Don't you see I can take your sin,
You don't see what I have in sight.
You mean more to me than you know,
I wouldn't trade anything for you,
You've always had a special glow,
The grey skies will soon turn blue.
