I heard you call my name
I heard the lies you told
I heard the pleading in your voice
I felt my soul try to resist
I felt myself start to give in
I couldn’t take it anymore
I let you have your way
You asked too much
I couldn’t stand it
I broke
You never knew
But everything shattered
You never knew
But I died inside
You never knew
You broke my heart
Shattered it into little shards
I needed time
Time to heal
You couldn’t believe it
Thought I was unbreakable
But in the end the unbreakable broke
How to put the pieces back together
How to revive the dead
You never knew
But I died inside
