There's something deep inside of me the source of all my pain
a darkness I cannot find the words to explain
I don't know where it came from, I think it might be my heart
the scars and cracks, the blues and blacks that I've collected
through the years
and the haunted memories of each bitter tear.
perhaps it is just fear for yet another loss.

well I've tried to mend it this broken heart of mine
but never yet to find the cure or maybe its a matter of time
I try so hard to shake it, I tell the world I'm fine
but deep inside the darkened void my heart commits its crime
I die a little more each day, the night time is my friend
for in the I dream and wish and hope and finally I do mend
but then the morning comes upon me I dread the break of day
for this might just be the one on which I be carried away

to no more wonder to no more cry
to be at home in the sweet by and by
to be at peace to find relief
for this darkness that is inside of me.
