Nights on the Path of Broken Hearts

The nightfall breaks with the call of the dead
Leaving me here tortured in my bed.
The thought of you has intoxicated my dear head
Leaving me here blinded by my tears
Under moonlight, escaping and hiding from all of my fears.
Just remember who held your hand through your darkest years.

Your voice, its melody would drown all my noise
I'd stay afloat on clouds of luscious flowers
Thinking of the long hours before I can hear you again.
I love you now still, just as I did back then.
But now I'm lost and I need to know
When did all this change? Just tell me exactly when.

Your footprints in my heart have messed me up
I can't even look in your eyes and ask, "What's up?"
It feels like my heart's about to burst
When I feel you in the nearing air.
That golden shine that flows from your hair
Melts my pain back to a smile
And I take it for all its worth
Even knowing the feeling will only last a short while.

Can't you see the blood running down?
Down from my dark eyes to my lips
Bringing backs memories of country trips
Days when your smile seemed so real
When you could touch my heart and know what I would feel
But it's all gone now
It went by so fast I keep thinking wow.
You kept my heart and I'm asking for it back.

Take the razor
Slice my wrist or,
Cut my throat, drown my face
Leave nothing behind but a single trace.
A way to find you holding me
Give me my heart, it’s longoverdue.
Bury me alive with the words
"I'll never stop loving you."
