"For broken hearts," they explained
They say I am so pure
My lips remain unstained
The dark thoughts in my head
Fly by and simply miss
That my heart has never bled
That I've never felt a kiss
Those lips, thin and shy
Have never spoke a lie
And those big bright eyes
Have never had to cry
They say that a lonely soul
Can sit with me for a while
And as happiness takes it's toll
Can be saved with my smile
They say that my birth made the birds,
Sing every morning out of pride
They say all these useless words
But they don't know what's inside
Memories and darkness strong
Rage stormy in my mind
And I don't smile and move along
I can't leave these things behind
Those lips clean and dry
Play with words like a toy
Telling lies until someone cries
And my lips kissing that boy
Every kiss makes the lie shake
Makes them a deeper black
Every night tortured awake,
Left crying silent on my back
That mysterious glare I hold
To make people think I'm alright
Is slowly running frozen cold
Like an approaching winter's night
They tell many that I am the cure
"For broken hearts," they will say
The night they found a goodbye note
The night where I finally slipped away
