Like wooden splinters piercing my heart
I turn and writhe in agony
Refusing to see the truth from the start
I led myself to tragedy

And over and over it plays in my head
The kisses and laughs from your sweet smile
As I lay here tossing and turning in bed
Still emerging from my bitter denial

Sitting here with a smile as my heart screams
And my arms feel empty evermore
Sad how nothing is ever how it seems
Dropping to my knees as you close the door

A bruise upon a heart beats weary
You left me in my own tear drops
And I’m starting to see clearly
The pain that never stops

I said that I’d forget you, I’d be strong
I wouldn’t miss your vacant kisses goodnight
I’d didn’t know how much I’d be wrong
When I told everyone I’d be alright

But still I cry when no one sees
Carry this bruise upon my heart
And again I drop down to my knees
Staring at the truth I ignored from the start
