AliNovak- Heartbreakers

Sometimes the things left unsaid

Are deadly like bullets and knives.

Mine cut you deep, girl.

We had no chance to survive.

And there’s an unspoken truth in my eyes,

But the heart whispers words that can’t be denied.

Mine’s telling you that I’m falling,

Falling apart ’cause I fell in love.

You settled into my lungs, and crawled into my heart.

You’re in every word I sing, and my star in the dark.

Early-morning coffee

The first time that we met:

Remember the picture you took of me?

That close-up-style vignette.

My world was blurry before you;

I was too scared to see.

But slowly the picture’s developing,

And I know what’s happening to me.

You settled into my lungs, and crawled into my heart.

You’re in every word I sing, and my star in the dark.

Girl, you might think that we fell,fell hard from the stars,

But my love’s untouched, unmarred.

And I’m telling you that I’m coming apart,

Coming apart ’cause I’m still in love.

You settled into my lungs.

You’re in every word I sing,

Every word I sing.

A song in Heartbreakers, by Ali Novak.

Before I go

Who said it was easy, lied

My façade is the better part of me

As no one sees what lies behind

It hurts the emptiness I feel

And try to refill

(No one ever minds

It not working)

But it has no meaning

Behind the activities that put

My heart to work

 

I try to lie awake

But my bed calls me home

For there I loose all

This anxiety that surrounds me

I’m tired

All feelings, all pain

It’s not all bad,

‘Tis the bad that stays

In my head, while I’m awake

Cursed to remember

What I hoped to forget

Hope falling down

Like petals of a rose

Trying to find

It’s way home

But the road is

Long and twisted

Dark and cold

Up and down we go

Like a sickness that

Surrounds my heart

And I can’t let go.

I should it let it go
