Break

You were the only one who could make me smile
Now my face is frozen in an endless frown, carved into the
marble never to be changed.

I've made a million mistakes and I'll make a million again
But I don't want those foolish things to hurt you anymore
like I've been doing all along.

So I break off a piece of my heart, place it in your hand
Fold your fingers over it but be gentle please its fragile
and soft.

I fall apart the inside and cry away a bottle of cheap
liquor
Wake up the next morning sore and covered in scars I don't
remember making.

A throbbing head and a broken heart is loves' hangover that
I have to bear like a milestone on my back. Bent down and
bone crushing sadness always with me.

I used to think that God was listening when I'd lay in bed
and pray my past away, but now I know I was only kidding
myself once again.

Now that we are no longer, I thought I could numb my pain
and drug your memories away. I was horribly wrong. I know
that I'll never be without your break on my heart.
