lyrics

I try not to speak to you in code
But you sense my dismal undertone
And the floodgates open all too fast
And out spill the words that would be our last and

I blew it all on a whim
Now I'll never see you again
And I know it was right, but tonight
I feel oh so alone

I know I'm on the right path
I know you have better plans
I know I'm the one that tore up apart
So why do I have a broken heart?

Everything is duller now
All the joys I feel are on mute somehow
And I still have things to smile about
But what's the point when I'm just smiling to myself?

And I say it hurts so bad
Cause you're in my mind but not in my life
And how is it possible
My life feels full of you and empty of you at the same time

And nothing worked out as I thought
We're so much worse off than before the start
I'm sick of breaking hearts, I'm sick of telling lies
And I know that this was right but my heart defies

I know I'm on the right path
I know you have better plans
I know I'm where I'm supposed to be
So why am I crying myself to sleep?
So why do I not know where to start?
So why do I, so why do I
So why do I have a broken heart?
