Even in laughter my heart may ache,
My suffering heart yet needs a home,
I still seek the shelter from this never ending cold,
But everytime I knock,
The answer will always be no,
Not by the others, always by myself,
My mindset yet knows,
"This usually never helps."
I beg and I plead,
This never ends,
It never, never fucking ends,
The word "love" never seemed so broken,
I'll still wear this heart, shattered and open,
I'll keep it as a promise,
That I will stay sane,
I'll caress my wounds,
I'll keep myself safe,
Because the ones you truly miss,
May not return,
But they will always, always exist.
But never be heard,
No, they'll never be heard.
Forever holding onto this one memory,
That you are gone,
The days turned into months,
Time was not enough,
Forever holding onto this one memory,
That you moved on,
For me it ain't well,
Mercy's like a curse,
It was for the better,
But now I feel worse,
Knowing, remembering,
That sought out shelter,
Has always been You.
