Part of Me Dies
 

"Part of Me Dies"

There are many ways to break my heart
I think you've found every one
Each time your eye blinks
Pieces of me die

Blown away
A dry leaf in your wind
That surrounds and passes me by
I'm dropped in your ocean
Beaten with your rain
Until I'm no longer drifting
But clutching for the surface
With fingerless hands

There are many ways to break my heart
You've found each and every one
Every night you smile in darkness
Part of me dies

Cracked into so many fractured pieces
Scattered in a down draft
Pressure building into soundless thunder
Unable to recite the words to say

There are many ways to break my heart
You've found all there are to find
Picked like bones, discarded
Part of me has died
Part of me has died
