Broken Hearts

My heart is broken
And I feel out of place
Words left unspoken
That fill an empty space.

When night comes around
And darkness falls, the tears
Start falling all over again
My heart that was filled with love
Is now broken, never to be fixed.

I thought you loved me
For that's what I heard,
Felt and saw with my own eyes
So why did it end the way it did?
'Cause you had to say "I'd rather us be good friends."

People always told me to never fear
And to "never be afraid to fall in love."
But the problem I have,
And the mistake I made
Is that no -one told me
"Once you fall in love, there's no way out."

I was always told that
Love would have a happy ending,
Similar to the ones in the fairy tales
The ones which I used to read as a child.
But then reality came up and hit me in the face
Love is nothing more than a mystery.

I would have liked to have known
From the time I started
That the road ahead wasn't going to be easy
'Cause that way at least
I wouldn't be in the pain i'm in.
