Heartburn

I cried endless tears,

you left me torn, 

it ached so deeply

to watch you go. 

You did not want me,

it hurt to know,

you did not love me,

you told me so.

How can a heart burn 

so long for you?

How come it still hurts

all this time through?

It burnt for your love

holding me tight 

it burnt for your touch

all through the night. 

Now burns from the pain 

of all your lies 

now burns since you said

give me some time. 

How can a heart burn 

so long for you?

How come it still hurts

all this time through?

And it's burnt like that

mourning your flight,

it's burnt now for months,

still burns tonight. 

You left me naked,

left me to die,

when all was taken

you said goodbye. 

How can a heart burn 

so long for you?

How come it still hurts

all this time through?
