Late at night
You come to me
Under your touch
I forget how to breathe
With each of your words
I forget how to speak
Then I’m alone
with myself feeling sick
Brighter days
Will come after all
And you’ll appear
With unbounded love
Stay with me
For a while
Like I stayed with you
A thousand times
If you ever wanted to know
I have learned to stand the pain
Tonight I’m doing just fine except my loneliness
It’s hard to breathe with a broken heart
I wonder if
This will ever end
I don’t remember
How to live without pain
How could it be
To have you standing behind
If I can’t turn back
To look into your eyes
If you ever wanted to know
I have learned to stand the pain
Tonight I’m doing just fine except my loneliness
It’s hard to breathe with a broken heart
I wonder if this could ever end
I wonder if we could be friends again
It’s hard it’s so hard to breathe
with my broken heart
