Breaking

Your name strikes a cord in my heart,
And fills it with the sound of your love
You sometimes don't even need to do a thing
It's as if just being there beside me
Can make me happy deep down inside
Every time you leave or forget to return a call,
I become sad and that music... fades away
That happy feeling I get when I'm around you
Starts to turn bitter and undoubtedly foul
I have to control myself from going insane
I don't want you to see me like that,
So I wear a smiling mask to hide my pain,
Wishing everything away so I can feel loved again
Oh, I know you love me, it's obvious
I feel it when my hands hold yours
But when I'm not able to hold you for a long time,
That's when I begin to feel a cut in my heart
Nothing to be frantic about,
But enough to hurt and cause me to flinch
As I grind my teeth together my mind wanders
Your name enters rudely into my mind
Too many times in one day, I lose count
I know I can't help but love you
No one can take away the way I miss you
Each passing second we're apart
Just promise me... Promise me now...
You won't break my wounded heart
