You gaze into my broken world
Through your perfect eyes
Forsaking my dignity
To validate the lies

You pry into my weakened mind
And reach into my heart
Manipulating my inner being
Tearing it apart…

Enlightening me with wisdom
You’ve gathered through the years
The heartaches that you’ve endured
As if our lives were mirrored

You knew the pain I had felt
You had been there too
Reminding me life’s tragedies
Always found their way to you

I looked to you, my flesh and bone
To help me find the way
Wounded in this broken world
I could not bear another day

You saw the pieces fall apart
My world came crumbling down
Trying to stand on my own two feet
You pushed me to the ground

Where is the strength you posses
The wisdom that you implied
Your eyes are not so perfect
Blinded by the lies

You pry into my weakened mind
And reach into my heart
Manipulating my inner being
Tearing us apart….

The cold dark night my only friend
Have I finally reached the end
I close my weary eyes and pray
Lord, how can I face another day

A demon only I can see
Living deep inside of me
Depriving me of feeling whole
It took my life, it took control

The laughter that once filled my days
Now clouded by an emotional haze
The sun no longer shines above
To see tomorrow, I’ll need your love

Time moves slowly to heal this pain
My life will never be the same
You’ll never know just how i feel
Only these tears I wipe away…are real

In this world of uncertainty
Ashamed of who I’ve come to be
One by one they’ve walked away
My only hope is if you stay

Exhausted from this lonley fight
I sit alone in the cold dark night
I close my weary eyes and pray
Lord, I cannot face another day

How could she be so naive
She wanted so. . . .to believe
You picked her up when she was down
A hero was this man she found

Time moves slowly to heal her pain
Will she ever be the same
A future full of hopes and dreams
Now, ripped apart at the seams

Where is the girl you once new
Why isn’t she lying next to you
Do you know it hurts her too
How she longs to be next to you

In a world of uncertainty
Who is this girl she’s come to be
You heard her whisper to God above
Please. . .don’t let him give up on our love

The pain is written in your eyes
Reflecting on your perfect lives
Reaching out, you take my hand
Hoping. . .I will understand
Your voice grows weak as you whisper good night
How you wish it was her holding you tight
