I wear my sadness, for all to see
Like a medal upon my chest
Once I was your hero
Now I’m just like the rest

Another face in a faceless crowd
With no future but my own
A heart that once was filled with hope
is now nothing more than stone

I gave you all that was me
I thought it could not end
Until you said those imortal words
“I just want to be your friend”

The sleepless nights, The tears I cried
the faded photos fueling my pain
celliod leeches bleeding my mind
everything lost, nothing to gain

Through endless days and sleepless nights
Alone in my private hell
waiting for you to admit your mistake
foolishly hoping, you’d make it well

well now those days are over
I’ve steered my ship through the storm
My mind is stable, my heart alive
My soul no longer torn

I re-enter the world of the living
knowing I’ve pulled through
my heart an open book
ready to love anew.
