heartbroken.

You're leaving me feeling

A little heartbroken

A simple "goodnight"

Couldn't leave me more hopin'

You'd say something more

Yet that door was left open

My heart has been mourning

A painful past

I just want that torture

I must make it last

Long enough to tell you

And let you feel the wrath

Yes, the grief of my mind

You made a crack

Direct hit to my wall

I want to show you my back

But I won't let myself

Because we got off track

No, no, that boat

It never left the dock

So here I am

Fury stays under lock

I really can't understand

How you didn't just stop

Stop to look

Stop to see

What was stirring

Up in me

That simple "goodnight"

Didn't help me believe

Believe you were sorry

For making me upset

I said I forgave you

'Cause I thought I could forget

But you didn't do

What I did for you

No, No,

You didn't double check

So you're leaving me feeling

A little heartbroken

A simple "goodnight"

Couldn't leave me more hopin'

You'd say something more

Yet that door was left open

You said "goodnight"

In which you left me alone

You left the tension to me

You hung up the phone

In that simple "goodnight"

I felt our dialtone

The gentle trill had stopped

A relationship overthrown
