Broken

My heart breaks
Every time you smile
My mind hazes
Every time you speak
My body numbs 
Every time you touch me
My soul leaves 
Every time you kiss me

But

My heart breaks
Every time you leave 
My mind hazes
Every time you scream
My body numbs 
Every time you hurt me 
My soul leaves 
Every time you break me

They say these are
The ups and downs
They say these are
To be expected

But

How can this be love?
How can this be care?
When I've given up hope
And the will to continue on

This shouldn't be worth it
All this suffering and stress 
Yet I am falling again 
Harder than before
Faster than before

Maybe this time 
Could it be this time 
Where i don't
Where i finally don't 
Get back up

Maybe i'll lie here 
Maybe i'll bleed out
Maybe i'll accept that
This was my destiny

I was born to die
I was made to be destroyed 
I was here today
I will be gone tomorrow

It's okay
I'll be fine
Just close your eyes
The pain will be over
For you 
And me

I'll be okay
I'll be
I'll
