Anatomy of a Break-up

The door closes as my heart sinks
I sever all my emotional links

I never thought I'd pray this prayer
That if I returned, she would not be there

The car starts up, I drive away
My heart is telling me I should stay

But I can not live out this life
I know there only will be strife

So as I drive around the bend
I know for sure that this must end

But I come back, I don't know why
She still loves me, I see her cry

I let my feelings take hold of me
I have no wisdom, and can not see

That this can never be again
And I go home and think, and then

I realize I can't return
A feeling in my heart, a burn

I tell her this, she asks me 'why?'
Then I explain and make her cry

My heart is breaking, oh what pain!
My chest constricts, my heart is slain

And when, at last, I'm off the phone,
I feel so utterly alone

But I am not, no, this I know
For in God's presence, love will grow

So I will hope that there's a day
When one I love wills the pain away

And I will always make her see
That she is beautiful to me.

To see her soul, I would be blessed
My heart would beat within my chest

But I will wait for the day to come
For I know where my hope comes from
