Burdens

The pain that lies beneath my chest

Suddenly I have instant regret

Regret of the things I never said

The things I just wanted to forget

I’m not sure why I kept those feelings inside

Maybe it was because I just didn’t want to fight

But this pain has been eating up my soul

The burden I have been carrying is getting old

I’ll never understand why I hide in that place

Maybe it’s because I want to give my heart a break

A break from all the arguing and tears

A break from the fighting using words that are unclear

Breathing is the hardest thing to do

I try and I try but my face turns blue

I love you so dearly, would never let you go

But the things that were said over the phone will forever be known

I will remember the words that were tossed back and forth

Those countless nights scratching my head because I just needed more

I needed to know that you still loved me

I needed to feel that you would never leave me

And even though these things lie on my chest

I will always regret the things I left unsaid

No matter what goes on between us two

I want you to always promise me you’ll never turn blue

Blue resembles a heartless soul

And I know deep inside you have a heart of gold
