The Heart's Penitentiary

Lost in echoes of your last goodbye Tears stain pages of my old diary Each memory a dagger a painful sigh Struggling to break free from this heart's penitentiary I replay our conversations in my mind Searching for answers that I'll never find But every word just feels like a lie And now I'm left here wondering why Trying to mend this broken heart But the pieces keep falling apart I'm stuck in the wreckage of our love Praying for strength from above I see your face in every crowd Haunted by the ghost of what we used to be Trying to scream but I can't make a sound Trapped in this prison of bittersweet memories I hold onto hope like a fragile thread But it slips through my fingers like grains of sand I'm drowning in the tears that I've shed Wishing I could just make it all end Trying to mend this broken heart But the pieces keep falling apart I'm stuck with the damage from what we had But it hurts it hurts so bad I know I'll find my way out of the dark But right now it feels like I'm torn apart So I'll keep holding on one day at a time Until I can finally leave you behind Trying to mend this broken heart But the pieces keep falling apart I'm just a disaster that you left in your wake But I will learn from this tragic mistake Trying to mend this broken heart But the pieces keep falling apart I'm stuck in the wreckage of our love Praying for strength from above Trying to mend this broken heart But the pieces keep falling apart I'm stuck with the damage from what we had But it hurts it hurts so bad
