Lost n Broken
Kirsti West 1977 (Perth)
I don't know how to let go of
What I never deserved to lose
How can you ever learn to survive
A heartbreak you didn't choose?
You forced my hand and left me with
No chance to find my feet
Now I'm drowning in the tears I cry
In pain with every heartbeat
Now everything I loved is gone
And all I knew is lost
I fought to hold on to the very end
My heart and soul it cost
I did all that I possibly could
But the fight was all on me
It never mattered what I tried to do
Your mind already broke free
You never gave us a fighting chance
To find the love we knew
Now someone else is holding my future
Given away by you
For all my soul I devoted to you
I deserved for you to care
And put in an effort to save what we had
Now nothing's right or fair
Each day I live without you
I long to see your face
To hear you say it was all a mistake
And I could never be replaced
I know not what to do now
Or how to carry on
The emptiness is killing me
I can't believe you're gone
I trusted you with all my soul
To keep me safe and warm
Now the keeper of my fragile heart
Is the reason that it's torn
