Learning How Not to Die
This world that surrounds me
Is utterly confusing.
My smiling face and sudden laugh
Are just a mask to cry behind.
It's all just a sham to die behind.
It hurts to see you now,
Hurts like nothing before.
Your eyes,
Your smile;
They're not for me anymore.
It's been such a long while now,
Since I last slept through the night.
So dark.
So cold
Alone now I just might...
I just might bow my head now,
And let the pain take me;
Let the sorrow, the heartbreak
Flow freely from my shadowed eyes.
Sweet Lord,
Don't take my soul tonight;
I swear it's not my time.
Pay no heed to the tears I cry.
They're just a broken heart's way
Of learning not to die.
