Oh,
the
heart
is
a
heavy
load
to
carry
I
am
weary,
I
am
really
tired
now
I
wake
up
every
morning
with
a
hope
that
fades
by
noon
Tracing
shadows
of
a
love
that
is
ending
far
too
soon
I
put
my
all
into
the
fire,
but
the
embers
turn
to
grey
Every
promise
that
you
whispered
seems
to
slowly
drift
away
I
am
pouring
out
my
spirit
in
a
vessel
that
is
cracked
Looking
for
the
missing
pieces
that
we
never
really
packed
The
silence
in
this
room
is
getting
louder
every
night
I
am
losing
all
the
vision,
I
am
losing
all
the
light
I
want
to
love,
I
really
want
to
believe
in
the
flame
But
my
heart
is
getting
tired
of
this
lonely,
bitter
game
Oh,
the
struggle
is
too
much,
I
am
breaking
at
the
seams
Chasing
after
ghosts
of
us
and
all
our
shattered
dreams
I
am
tired
of
the
trying,
tired
of
the
constant
pain
Walking
through
the
desert
just
to
wait
for
missing
rain
I
remember
how
we
started
with
a
sweetness
in
our
souls
Now
the
rhythm
of
our
story
is
just
taking
heavy
tolls
I
check
my
phone
to
see
if
there
is
any
word
from
you
But
the
silence
is
a
message
that
is
piercing
through
and
through
My
friends
say
I
should
leave
it,
that
I’
m
walking
on
the
edge
But
I’
m
still
standing
here
alone
upon
this
fragile
ledge
Is
it
worth
the
heavy
price
that
I
am
paying
in
my
chest?
To
keep
on
fighting
for
a
love
that
never
gave
me
rest
I
want
to
love,
I
really
want
to
believe
in
the
flame
But
my
heart
is
getting
tired
of
this
lonely,
bitter
game
Oh,
the
struggle
is
too
much,
I
am
breaking
at
the
seams
Chasing
after
ghosts
of
us
and
all
our
shattered
dreams
I
am
tired
of
the
trying,
tired
of
the
constant
pain
Walking
through
the
desert
just
to
wait
for
missing
rain (
Saxophone
solo
wailing
in
the
distance)
I
have
given
all
my
silver,
I
have
given
all
my
gold
But
the
heart
I
tried
to
warm
is
remaining
very
cold
I
cannot
force
the
blooming
of
a
flower
in
the
sand
I
cannot
keep
on
holding
to
a
phantom,
shifting
hand
So
I’
m
packing
up
my
spirit,
I’
m
reclaiming
all
my
peace
Asking
for
the
heavy
load
of
sorrow
to
decrease
It
is
painful
to
acknowledge
that
the
road
has
reached
its
end
But
I
cannot
be
a
lover
to
a
heart
I
cannot
mend
I
wish
you
well
in
all
the
spaces
where
you
choose
to
go
But
I
am
stopping
this
surrender,
I
am
letting
go
of
woe
I
want
to
love,
I
really
want
to
believe
in
the
flame
But
my
heart
is
getting
tired
of
this
lonely,
bitter
game
Oh,
the
struggle
is
too
much,
I
am
breaking
at
the
seams
Chasing
after
ghosts
of
us
and
all
our
shattered
dreams
I
am
tired
of
the
trying,
tired
of
the
constant
pain
Walking
through
the
desert
just
to
wait
for
missing
rain (
Slow
piano
chords
fading
out)
I
am
tired...
so
tired
of
trying (
Saxophone
notes
lingering)
Just
let
it
fade,
let
it
go
Peace
at
last,
peace
at
last.
