My heart is heavy as I turn my face away.
Closing both my eyes and self,
to the light of day.
Comfort, now, is meaningless,
Heartache burns my eyes,
There is no solace for my soul,
No truth behind the lies

Once I thought I knew and saw what life was meant to be,
Something so much brighter
than the brokeness I see.
But now all hope of happiness,
All joy and peace are gone,
My greatest needs and fondest wish,
All lost, too far from home.
