A Desert in the Heart Undying

Lost, he's surely lost now
When he tries to strip himself of a past that keeps holding on
So many times before I've tried to let go
To peel off deception's mask
But hid my fears behind walls of sorrow
And like a cold, bitter chill one cannot shake
Disillusionment sits by my side, so in her I must confide

She tells me dark secrets and grim tales of regrets
She tells me

Love is not lost, it dies like all things do
Buried in the backyard where a lone dove cries
Love is not lost, it dies like all things do
Buried in the backyard where a lone dove cries

Alone, no one to share her days with
She chokes on the stale dry air of memories
She chokes on the words she says to no one at night
And whispers her questions to the walls
And drifts to sleep, no one there to share her dreams

And oh, how it hurts to see tears fall from her eyes

Into the desert some are sent to starve
Weary and weak they make their way home
And though our tired hearts will bear the scars
Let us find who we are
