My Heart Will Rest In Pieces

Every night

I gaze up at the moon

And all it does is remind me of you

We rest under the same sky

You and I

I guess that makes me feel a little less alone at night

You're a thousand miles away

Or at least it feels that way

Ever since you threw me away

Like the end of the cigarette bud

I crush beneath my feet

I burned your name into my throat

As I scream to the heavens

All I feel is raw emotion

Exploding from my chest

Out my lungs and into the frigid air

It's nights like this that are the hardest

Where I'm lost in thought

And six shots of vodka are coursing through my bloodstream

I walk my lonely route

Past your old house

You don't live there anymore

But our love does

It was born there

It grew there

It dies there

It remains there

You killed our love

And its killing me

That it didn't mean a thing

Thanks for nothing my old friend

Thanks for letting us end
