Take my bleeding heart and crush it
Crush it till it bleeds no more
All the love you failed to give
Now that love it needs no more
Take my bleeding heart and crush it
Crush it till it bleeds no more
All the love you failed to give
Now that love it needs no more
Dark clouds gather overhead
Reminding me of you
Clock ticks just above my bed
Telling me it’s two
Every hour of my awake
Every breath that passes by
Is a reminder of my ache
In the middle of July
…
The first thought of the next day morn’
Keep reminding me of you
Is it the right word since I’m
Always lost in you?
Well, the sun and all his light
The breeze and all can try
To heal me of my ache
In the middle of July
…
Just like that, another day is gone
I’m drawing closer to my end
The vantage of this day morn’
Has ceased to be my friend
All the torments of your grace
Have left me here to die
It is something I can’t face
In the middle of July
I wrote a poem in love
When the heart was full and brimming
Now that the heart is empty
The poem holds no meaning
I’m standing on the edge
But I’ve no fear
I’m looking for a God
Somewhere near
I’m looking for a spark
I’ve got a tear
Need somebody here
Someone dear
Every time I feel I’m wrong, wrong, wrong
You were always right, right, right
I can’t go on
I have lost my way
When you are gone
There’s nothing to say
I keep trying, trying, trying
Always crying, crying, crying
But there’s nothing to say
…
I’m walking all alone
Day and night
In the darkness
I’m filled with fright
No guiding hand
No candle light
All confusion
Is black and white
Every step I take is wrong, wrong, wrong
You were always right, right, right
I’m falling down
With no sign of day
On the ground
There’s nothing to say
I keep calling, calling, calling
Hear me falling, falling, falling
But you’ve nothing to say
…
I can’t evade
This masquerade
My dreams fade
Before you
Every lightning’s
Very frightening
Without you
I keep crying, crying, crying
I keep trying, trying, trying
But there’s nothing to say
There’s just nothing to say
Oh these swings are a nasty thing
One moment they get you up
High as the birds in the sky
The next moment you are down
Like the outcast dirt on earth
…
One moment they make you feel in love
Like nothing could go wrong
The next moment you are feeling sick
When you come crashing down
…
One moment you are gleefully singing
As the breeze brushes your hair
The very next moment you are exhausted
Your head containing a tornado
…
One moment you are full of happiness
Happier than the king of the world
The next moment you are struggling
To find a bit of peace and calm
…
One moment up
One moment down
Up, down, up, down, up, down
Oh these swings are a nasty thing
My simple heart couldn’t take it anymore
I wrote my song on fire
For love is a savage flame
There I wrote with ire
There I wrote your name
Now with fingers burning
I pour my pain in rage
Watch grey smoke returning
To the fire-bounded page
The fire — cruel and hollow
Turns on me in a flash
Leaps at me to swallow
My anger and my ash
I don’t know
I don’t know where we’re goin’
I don’t care
Which way this wind is blowin’
Last night
I thought I would put this to end
But we’re starting
To go through this all over again
…
I don’t know
How this will turn out to be
I don’t care
How this will turn out to be
Last night
I kept my eyes wide open
Thinking, wondering
If we’re doing this all over again
…
I don’t know
If this story has an ending
I don’t care
If you’re just pretending
All night
I swallow my ego and pain
For I fear
We’re starting it all over again
I lost my way on the path of love
From running way too hard
Here and there and everywhere
With complete disregard
To the shoes and sanity
That one must have and wear
For the first were torn and worn
The second needed repair
Then you came and grabbed my hand
Directed me the right way
Pulled me from the dark of night
Into the bright of day
You gave me a new pair of shoes
One called Faith, the other Trust
And asked me to run along with them
I’d never felt such a thrust
Now I need to run no more
I merely stroll and walk
For I have you for company
To chatter and to talk
Away on the path of love
Me and you and you and me
Moving on towards our home
As happy as we could be
Time is a millipede
When you are not here
Moving forward slowly
Despite a hundred feet
If you ask me why I love you
I would ask for a day
For all the reasons there are
Would take hours to say
