Impact

I don't think I even made a dent For all the time I spent Trying To end your Crying. You kept turning all the lights off, And I thought that I could still see, But I didn't even notice That you were done with me. And I know you know What it's like to feel this way. I remember hearing you say She broke your heart. And all the miles apart... They couldn't make a difference. Because the arrows pass right through the walls And then you fall. May I please take a minute To collect each little goodbye And sweep every one of your lies Under my rug. I can't leave them at the corner Or dispose of them completely. I need a constant reminder In case you send another apology. And I know you know What it's like to feel this way. I remember hearing you say She broke your heart. And the miles apart... They couldn't make a difference. Because the arrows pass right through the walls And then you fall. I don't think I even managed a dent Even though I was everything, That's what you said. I was the reason you weren't dead You can't keep a promise And you can't stop the lies, And thirteen hundred miles Won't help the ache subside. All I can think, is Why? Well I know you know What it's like to feel this way. I remember hearing you say She broke your heart. And the miles apart... The couldn't make a difference. Because the arrows pass right through the walls And then you fall. If you took any time to look, You'd see the crater in my heart And the oh so evident scars From each carelessly tossed dart. Yet, I don't think I made a sliver of a dent.
