A memory broken,

A heart shattered,

The meaning worthless,

Don't bother saying

"I love you."

You say one thing

But mean another,

Why should I trust you?

A tear shattered,

A smile unseen,

Why do things change?

I try harder and harder

Each day to get you to

See the real me.

My mask is worn

To protect my heart

From being broken.

The more I wear it,

The more times that

I've seen lies.

A friendship torn,

The truth ripped

Apart, why can't

You see me?

The more time goes on,

The more things change,

And the more hurt I become.

Things change right before

My eyes,

And I can't stop it.

The past is done,

And nothing can be done

To change what has been

Seen.

My eyes have seen the

Truth, the truth that

You deny.

My tears have seen

The past, the past

That has melted

Away.

My heart has only

Seen the future, the

Future that's full of

Heartbreaking change.

The things I've done,

The things I've seen,

Why do they have to

Change?

Why can't I accept

The truth, the truth

That has been spoken and seen?

A breathe took,

A moment lost,

Just say goodbye and

Leave.

I can't stand to see your

Face, the face that broke

My heart.

Pain felt,

Blood shed

What will it take?

Why can't you see

Past my mask?

You left a scar that will

Never heal, you left your

Touch that won't be

Forgotten.

Why do things change?

Tell me the truth.

Please don't leave me,

Just see past my mask.
