My Heart

it's hard to say
harder to hear
my heart it fell asleep
when you were lovin' me

nothin' to stop it
nothin' to wake it
you were tryin' so hard
it was painfull to see

yet my heart fell asleep
when you were lovin' me
breaking you into many pieces
'cause you tried too hard

casting a tightening grip
a suffocating hold over me
my heart fell asleep, you lost
needing it so much

my heart fell asleep, you left
it was not yours to keep, slowly
it rises from its sleep, breathin'
fresh air, a lot it will need

recovering in speed, rid of the grip
that held it down, reaching for the
freedom where it will live

my heart fell asleep
it was not yours to keep
