Broken Heart

Honestly, I never thought you would
Drop me that sudden and tacky line
It felt like a flash of thunder
Bolting and it collided into my world
The impact got me so weak,
I had to stay in bed for a couple of weeks
I thought everything was great
Until you informed me that
You no longer wanted to be in a relationship

You said you needed some space
So I jumped in front of you to speed up the pace
I'm not going to be a participant in this race
I'm already in shock and disgrace
Go on ahead and leave this place
I don't ever want to see your face
I hope you will be satisfied too
Cuz I'm not going to trace your steps or chase you down

I tried to play tough
I open the door and yelled ... get the hell out!!!
And do me the honor, please don't come back again
Everything crashed, it felt like an immediate strain
It felt like my whole body was in pain
I'm not famous for that, I don't like to complain
Excruciating, the only word to explain
The hit I received from that speeding train

The warmth suddenly turned into cold
I thought we had it going on like mom and dad
Coming from a far, still together and getting old
That was thoughtless and your decision was very bold
I'm trying to rewind and grab a hold
Why you decided to walk away?
What a terrible price to pay!
What prompted you to act this way?

Confusion and loneliness proliferate
What am I being punished for?
Can't say I didn't give you affection
I gave you too much attention
My interest was always at the bottom of the list
I overworked trying to make you happy
But a broken heart was the only thanks I got
In time I will mend the broken pieces
God knows, I will give love another chance
