A lot of people's heartbreak

Is because of a relationship.

A boy or a girl

That left them 

And took their heart with them

Mine isn't 

My heartbreak is a lot of things

It's because of a relationship

But not with a boy or girl

It's because of people

That we're supposed to love me

That somehow made me feel

As though they didn't

My heartbreak

Is also just pain

Pain that I've pressed down

For so long

It must've reached my heart

And now it's tearing me apart

It's all those things

Combined with everything

And anything 

Anyone has ever said to me

And although I pretend that

I don't hear it

Or that it doesn't affect me

It's those same words 

That keep me awake at night

Right before I succumb

To my everlasting fatigue

It's those same words

That make me wish

I won't wake up the next day.
