A contest to see who can care the most
Who can give the most; who can take the most
And when it seems as though I'm just a ghost
My body is shattered, my soul is broke
When I feel as though there is no hope
And my love will continue hanging from a rope
Yes, when it seems that all I've ever had is lost
All for nothing, the ultimate cost
Is the shards of my mind, falling one at a time
For I loved too much, I crossed a line
My separation from all lovers alone
Is that my heart is free for all to rome
These barriers I break leave only skin and bones
But I have nothing inside; just a heart and a home
I have nothing to hide; all there is to me shows
I have no reason to cry, but nothing in me grows
He simply couldn't take my open hearted ways
It was a part of a person he couldn't love, and wouldn't take
And I still wander around, feeling like a fool out of place
Asking if one could comprehend loving me the same
But people are too closed up, they all hang their head in shame
I could never do that though
I was never the one to blame
