Analysis of YOU
You broke my heart until is was gone
I don't understand what I did so wrong
You said you would love me forever
Through any sort of weather
I gave up everything for you
All you could do was leave me blue
Your heart black as ice
Not even a knife could slice
You broke me down
In my tears I drown
So hard to catch my breath
It felt like it was coming fast, death
You cursed me until no words were left
As I begged you to give it a rest
The world spinning round and round
I'm laying in a hole six feet in the ground
This is where you put me, so deep
As you laugh, as I weep
Not a care in the world
All I could say was please Lord
