My Songs

A Heart Died

Alright, I given the contest enough time but I'm sad to say that the songwriting contest has been cancelled. There are just not enough signed up.

Enjoy!

Verse 1:

I have fallen in the deep
Stayed awake, I got no sleep
Drowning in my own despair
How long till my lungs need air
My tears never seem to run out
Might find some peace in the drought
Your voice keeps echoing in my head
But I couldn't make out the words it had said

Chorus:

Played with fire now I'm burned
Caught by weakness, should've taken your word
All this pain, I know I deserved
These scars that heal, they all still hurt
Jumped off a cliff and feeling numb
This is what I get for being dumb
Pray to the lord for my kingdom come
Cause once it started, it was all done

Verse 2:

Made the taste of poison sound so sweet
Couldn't handle the song of a heartbeat
Wanted to make so much more of myself
But I kept looking for it in somebody else
The stakes are high, the future ain't clear
There's no more moving, moving on from here
There's everything to give but nothing to barrow
Because after today, there won't be a tomorrow

Chorus:

Played with fire now I'm burned
Caught by weakness, should've taken your word
All this pain, I know I deserved
These scars that heal, they all still hurt
Jumped off a cliff and feeling numb
This is what I get for being dumb
Pray to the lord for my kingdom come
Cause once it started, it was all done

Bridge:

Had my chances, couldn't think things straight
You were my angel, you were a saint
Then you turned away with your last goodbye
Did you know that it felt like a heart died
I didn't want your pity, didn't want any guilt
So I kept it inside with these walls that I built
Kept a stone cold face and said "I'll be fine"
Now I wonder, oh I wonder, if you even heard my lie
And my heart start to cry

Chorus:

Played with fire now I'm burned
Caught by weakness, should've taken your word
All this pain, I know I deserved
These scars that heal, they all still hurt
Jumped off a cliff and feeling numb
This is what I get for being dumb
Pray to the lord for my kingdom come
Cause once it started, it was all done
