How Do I Break the Cycle?

The cycle starts again
try to forget
how hard i fell for him
never mind the open prayers
or the poisoned arrows
left their mark
I'm in the dark
and I'm trying to forget
loves sweet sorrow

The sun
my heart
my bed
it starts
I wake
no arms
alone
I break
for goodness sake
i miss him
and then

the cycle starts again
try to forget
you're in love
ignore the fact
you've been denying it all along
bleed along the day
just to hear his voice
and lift my spirits again

How can I break it?
How can I fall out of love?
How can I taste it?
How can I corrupt it?
How can I resist it?
How can I manage?

The cycle starts again
Ignorance my best friend
and rose colored glasses shattered
reality taken in huge doses
like anything really mattered
but I have to admit it
It's only fair to my soul
for years I've been denying it
I've let it go
and go
and go

The night
the sky
my head
it starts
I long
no arms
alone
I break
for goodness sake
I miss him 
and then
