"At first you don't succeed, try, try again."


After all these long-drawn years,

I was still here, waiting for you

After these wasted sobs and shedded tears,

I hope you were coming for me too

 

Remember those iron bells,

That we had hung up together over there?

They are now just rusted shells,

But they're still hanging up in the air

 

Day or night, sun or storm,

I sit here, thinking you'll return

I await here on this very platform

Where your presence I still yearn

 

But now, after all this time,

I know all this is futile

I've waited after the bells refused to chime

This wait hadn't been worthwhile

 

After the yells, after the screams,

I saw you rush out the door

Shattered mind, shattered dreams

I can't wait for you anymore

 

I've spent so many days

Picking up the pieces of my heart

I want you to know that always

With you, I'll never part

 

But it's time to leave,

Time to move on again

Although I still grieve

Those forgotten memories of way-back-when

 

Here, I'll leave my shattered heart

So that when you come back

You know you and I have never been apart

Even when the world turned black

 

Here, I'll leave my shattered heart

Sorry, but I have to go

Sorry, but I have to find a new start

I hope that you'll understand, you'll know

 

Here, I'll leave my shattered heart,

Here, I'll leave my shattered heart.

My shattered heart
