This Will Hurt
This Will Hurt
Losing you is a sharp chest pain
A broken heart of my own doing
My way alone proved so wrong
I went blind to you and got in the way
And now thousands of mile away
Spells a space no bridge can connect.
This will hurt worse than death
At least when you die sleep is
All you feel after suffering
All the chest compressions I do
Won’t stop what I did to fail you
Heartbreak is how love ends.
