Felt My Heart Breaking

I was young and unscathed

All the world was a stage

It was make believe

Just a game to me

A world without scars

Reaching only as far as

My eyes could see

Featureless ground

Till your river wound right through me

And carved out a canyon

For the first time I came alive

When I felt my own heart breaking

Suddenly, there was color inside

I felt my own heart breaking

Never felt more alive

Never more awakened

Never more awakened

All the colors of a dawn

With the innocence gone

There is only sky

I am open wide

Crying not out of fear

But to cherish the tears

Of a different kind

Now, I live for the days

When the world melts away

In a stranger’s eyes

That see right through mine

For that moment in time

Oh, I feel my own heart breaking

Suddenly, you’d known me my whole life

Oh, I feel my own heart breaking

Never more alive

Never more awakened

Before you walked away

You gave me one last embrace

I felt something pull

Letting you go…

Oh, I felt my own heart breaking

I felt my own heart breaking

Lord, and I’d do it again, just to

Feel my own heart breaking

Never more alive

Never more awakened

Never again will I run from that feeling

Just to feel my own heart breaking

Never more alive, never more awakened

Never more, never more, never more

Never more alive…
