Sing to me softly the lullaby of a broken heart
Pick up the pieces, I've fallen apart
Delicate as a butterfly's wing
Sing for me softly, leave with me just one thing
Take my heart, take all of me
Leave to me the memories of what can no longer be
Whispers in the wind, the echo of your voice
I look to the stars in the sky, reminded, then, of the look in your eyes
My once placid dreams, now haunting scenes of yesterdays
Like a broken record, the nightmare reverberatingly plays
Your words burned straight through me, a burn to my skin
I still remember them clearly, a flame still blazes within
A beautiful letdown, a cold goodbye, a faint memory
Call it what you want, but I beg, I plea
Help me to get over you, I can't live with your presence surrounding me
A touch, a glance, the reflection of the past so calm
But your blade cuts through instantly, corrupting all
Why does everything remind me of you?
With every breath I take, all the sounds of the air
Why must everyday end with a single tear?
I was fine, I was happy, until you let go of me, or until we met at all
I guess the pain you caused is pressed into my head, a memory forever
So I'll hold on to you now, or must I let go?
Two paths to take, which one, I'll never know
I'll stand at the fork in the road, and just stare ahead
Maybe I'll stand there forever, maybe until I'm dead
