heavy

troubles so heavy,
my shoulders can't bear,
and I'm trying to breathe,
but there's smoke in the air,
and I'm crying of laughter,
tearing at the seams,
when reality lives
in my loneliest dreams

I'm singing until
the monsters disappear,
but he's shouting so loudly,
he brings back the fear
I'm afraid I'm forgetting
her eyes when she smiled,
I'm afraid if I close mine,
my thoughts will run wild

his kindest intentions
began out of greed,
he gives me all he has,
but has nothing i need,
it gets painfully lonely
in these broken days,
and there is no solution
to this broken maze

breathing afternoon air,
and it's starting to rain,
I begin to remember
the beauty in pain,
it takes tragic beginnings
and heartbreak to know
that without any rain,
nothing ever could grow

and life's what we make it,
we're what life makes us,
when we're kicked in the dirt,
we rise up from the dust,
all we have is each other
in these fleeting days,
and all that matters
is the role love plays

troubles so heavy,
but someday I'll meet
someone to take my hand,
help me back on my feet,
it gets painfully lonely,
but at least I know
I can trust that I'll see
the sun rise tomorrow
