To You

I’ve made up my heart—gotta guard against deception

Gotta make up my mind—not to listen to my heart

For I can now see—that you never really loved me

And it’s broken my heart—to know you never really cared

I’ll still see your smile—so charming and I thought loving

I’ll still hear those words—“you know this is for the best”

And though I know—that doesn’t make it easy

Because now I see—you were never really there for me

And that part of me I gave to you

Will never mean a thing to you

And that part of me I lost to you

I can never have again

A word from my broken heart—which burns now with despair

A hope from my inner soul—that maybe one day you’ll care

A plea to my Lord, my God—don’t make me find another

A plea that maybe you—will bring back to me what’s lost

So, I’ll still see your smile—still charming and deceiving

And I’ll still know the words—“you know I must be leaving”

And so maybe I know—but my heart cries out, it’s aching

And you shake your head—you leave

And that part of me I gave to you

Will never mean a thing to you

And that part of me I lost to you

I can never have again

But until you learn a thing or two

I really don’t want you back here

I gotta nurse my broken heart—and you—only the pride broken from words I said

You know now that they are true

But I’ll still see your face—you’re now a broken man

And I no longer want to say those words—“Now do you understand?”

With a broken smile—you nod to me

With a broken heart now—from knowing a great part of what you stole from me

And the knowledge now of seeing this broken heart’s pain

Maybe one day I’ll see your smile—and it won’t make me fall apart

And maybe one day the echo will cease—and I’ll get healed this broken heart

Maybe so…. Right now I don’t know….

But my Lord, my God will never leave me—and in my pain—He weeps with me
