A song about a heavy subject matter.

 A Broken Heart

"Every time I sit here I could cry

All I see is faceless shapes

And I start to get teary-eyed" She says

"I thought I knew 

I thought I knew

who these people were

But now I've seen the truth"

"If they can turn a blind eye

On my pleas

On my suffering 

On my victim-hood

Then how I can trust them," she says

"Maybe it's true then 

Love is a fragile things

Family really isn't family

Maybe is true then

Love its just a fragile thing

And family isn't really family"

She says

She cries with tears on her pillow

Always in fear of culprit 

Dreams filled nightmares

Of uneasy past she can't forget and forgive 

"I just want to run away

With the people I can see their faces

And strangers are friends 

And family are strangers 

It's easier to get to heaven

To heal and feel whole again," she says

"Maybe it's true then 

Love is just a fragile thing

And family isn't really family

And love is just a fragile thing

And family isn't really family"

She says

"And how can I feel whole

Then all my pleas fall on deaf ears

And family never listens 

They don't know my victim-hood

They don't know my suffering"

She says

"If they can excuse the culprit 

Then why I should listen

Why should I give you my respect

I won't give you the time of day

I'll just run away

I'll just run away

Then maybe it will all end"

She says

She suffers from a broken heart

After so many years 

Of victim-hood 

Of broken promises and empty truths

She suffers from a broken heart

"They don't know bad news

Excuse the culprit 

And blame the victim 

It's an easy game to play"

She says

"And when the damage is done

There's nothing you can do

To change and start again 

There's nothing you can do

To make me believe again

When all you do is lie again"

She says

"Maybe it's true then

Love is just a fragile thing

And family isn't really family 

Maybe it's true then

Love is just a fragile thing

And family isn't really family" 

She says 

And she could die of a broken heart 

With all the lies and half-truths

She could die of a broken heart

With all the empty and broken promises

Blame the victim and excuse the culprit 

A game they always play

A game she always loses

"Maybe it's true then

Loves is a fragile thing

And family isn't really family 

Maybe it's true then 

Love is a fragile thing

And family isn't really family"

She says

"Love is a fragile as streak

Makes you think

What Ripken could of been

And family hangs on cliff's edge

And everything falls apart

And everything crumbles down"

She says 

"Blame the victim and excuse the culprit 

A game they play much too often 

And I lose everytime

And truth falls on death's door

So why should I give the them the time" 

She says

"Love is just a fragile thing 

And family isn't really family 

Love is just a fragile thing

And family isn't really family

And I'm just another one 

Of the victims to ignore

And a culprit to excuse

They're faceless shapes I used to know

All they have given me is a broken heart"

She says

"Love is just a fragile thing

And family isn't really family 

Love is a fragile thing

And family isn't really family"

She says

And everything start falling apart 

Like broken glass

And shattered dreams
