This Way

When morning breaks

So does my heart

It was my mistake

To let us part





As I lay here

Alone and silent

Fingers in my hair

Sun shining vibrant




How can it go on

My world has stopped

I feel like a con

Like my heart is a prop




I watch the sun set

In my bed all day

Here's what I don't get

How has he got me this way




From the first breath

The first heart beat

My heart sunk to the depth

Of my soul to my feet




Here I lay waiting, alone

Watching another day

Come and be gone

How did he get me this way?
