Seams You Have Sewed


When your heart is held together 

By the seams you have sewed

When it's cracking and crumbling

In places you've never told

 

You thought it was so special

When you had everyone

You thought it would last forever

But they just turned away to run

 

When everyone is leaving

And your stories go untold

You can feel your heart breaking

It's just another place to sew

 

When your dreams switch to nightmares

And they don't leave when you're awake 

You are constantly hiding

It's just a feeling you can't shake

 

When you are surrounded by people

People you once knew

And they just turn up their nose

As if they don't see you

 

When everyone is leaving

And your stories go untold

You can feel your heart breaking

It's just another place to sew
