I was barely seventeen, my life had been hard
I was beaten and broken, barely hanging on to my facade
And just when I thought I'd been through it all
You came into my life, and broke my fall
You made me realize that there's something more
Something important, that I hadn't experienced before
This elated sensation, you brought over me
When you touched my hand, I wanted all to see
I was so happy, so content
I knew once and for all, together we were meant
But soon after I gave my heart away
You tore it apart, and my world went grey
It was thrown in my face but I didn't want to see
You wanted her, you never really needed me
So I was left in the dust, to mend the pieces
My broken heart: a sorrow that never ceases
I realized that life is just a cruel, cruel game
This God is evil, he's the one I blame
I'm done, I'm finished, I can't take it anymore
This pain and sadness reaches down to my core
I'm dead, I'm empty, my soul took flight
I give up, I was mistreated and I'm too tired to fight
But there's something left, there's something I bear
My love for you, it's something rare
It won't give up, it won't give in
It stays alive, burning within..
