I feel tears welling up
Cold and deep inside
With pride that’s battered
I turn to run and hide
A stab of loneliness
Just can’t be shaken
It’s sharp and it’s painful
My heartache has awakened
In silent screams
My soul fruitlessly yells
But my lips are tightly sealed
And I’ll never ever tell
How much you hurt me
Never once suspecting
That I was not alone in
The hearts you were collecting
The race is on
But the winner loses all
A fleeting moment, your belle
Your affection my shawl
Waking up each morning
Smelling your deceit
Finding that you’re gone now
Is all so bittersweet
And now that it’s over
In my dreams you dwell
Haunting muted memories
That I long to quell
