The beating of a broken heart

Meaningless facts

I know I’m falling out of love

I feel I can’t move on

I try to hold on and breathe

And deal with the pain

And the pain

Hoping one day we’ll smile again

And be happy

Together once more

Even though I know it’s not true

And I can’t lie to myself

Our reality has changed

Maybe for the better

Maybe for the worse

I know we will hold on

As long as we both can

Before we crumble together

And shatter into a million tiny pieces

Breaking in places where repair would be impossible

Be impossible

And we will never be the same again
