Broken Hearts Destroy


A broken heart is capable of destroying
With ease the essence of being a man
Making it impossible for you to function
As it lays waste to your life's plan

Then slowly it begins to steal away
Your purpose and also your will to live
Continuing it's raid until you're depleted
In a longer have anything you can give

Your friends start to distance themselves 
You believe its because you wear a frown
The truth is sinister and harder to believe
They're afraid you will pull them down

When you have nothing to call your own
In the world has labeled you as a bum
Even your family will create some space
Quietly ashamed of what you've become

A broken heart only has one desire in life 
And that's to be able to hold you down
And the people you believed once cared
Ignore you and no longer come around

And then one day you realize you're alone
And nobody's there to lend you a hand
Your broken heart is trying desperately 
To hold you forever under its command

Will you be able to stop from falling
To the deepest depths of this living hell 
Will you be able to mend your broken heart
Or be another sad story that people will tell
