Heartache
Every night I lay awake in bed
Trying hard to keep you off of my mind
Feeling hurt about the bad things you said
Wondering why you couldn’t be more kind.
My heart is heavy with you being gone
And I know there is nothing I can do,
But part of me is saying to hold on
To the wish that I want to become true.
My eyes are leaking from all the sadness
And my hands are shaking from the anger,
So I try to think of the happiness
Because I can’t take this any longer.
So I still lay here with you on my mind
Trying to leave all the sad thoughts behind.
