Break My Heart, Again

The days are dark
The nights are sad,
When I think of a happier time,
A time that we always
woke up next to each other
Comes to mind,
A time nothing else mattered
but just our wild spirits
Comes to mind,
A time that we gave our hearts
to each other with a promise
of nothing but adoration
Comes to mind

We hoped to share a love
So lovely, a love for eternity,
Poisoned my heart
with expectations,
and how naive of me
to believe it was all true,
How foolish of me
to never see your doubts
whenever we talked of our future,
How careless of me
to give my love to someone
who wasn’t kind enough
to let me down slowly

When I think of you
I just wanna scream out
at the rooftops,
under the serenity of the night,
of how you broke my heart
of how you did it so effortlessly,
like you’d premeditated it,
When I think of you
I wanna crucify myself
on a cross of the damned
because I keep holding on to
the hope of your return

How do I move on from you?
How do I forget all we shared?
How do I find another like you?
How do I find love, again?

The days are dark
The nights are sad,
After all, the damage is done
you are forever gone,
but my heart you’ll still own;
And if you ever see it fit
you can always come back
and break it again
