Analysis of Heartbreak
Anna Maria 2002 (Lebanon)
Is that what everyone call a heartbreak?
To bleed and bleed and bleed,
To be trapped in a cage and can't get free,
To scream, without anyone hearing your plea.
To try and this heartbreak escape,
But everytime you feel like you failed,
Where you replay your mistake,
Over and over and everytime you increase the self hate.
To try and speak, but your mouth is taped,
You feel yourself like a grenade,
At any moment you'll awake,
And everyone will feel the earthquake.
Is that what heartbreak feels like?
When you stay awake all night,
And all day you hide,
So no one can see the light draining out of your eyes.
What's the cause of a heartbreak?
Is it the feel of getting rejected?
Is it breaking off a friendship?
Is it the hate of a crush?
Or is it losing someone you love?
Love, love, love, love, what is love?
It's just a word they lied to us about,
To get what they want from us who are wound,
And break the promises they vowed.
