Bright Lights

Cast your mind back to the days,
When I pretend' I was OK
I had so very much to say,
About my crazy living
Now that I've stared into the void,
So many people, I've annoyed
I have to find a middle way,
A better way of giving
So I haven't given up,
But all my choices, my good luck
Appeared to go and get me stuck,
In an open prison
Now I am trying to break free,
Be in a state of empathy
Find the true and inner me,
Eradicate the schism
No-one can take it away from me,
And no-one can tear it apart
Because a heart that hurts,
Is a heart that works
A heart that hurts,
Is a heart that works
A heart that hurts,
Is a heart that works!!!
No-one can take it away from me,
No-one can tear it apart
It may be an elaborate fantasy,
But it's the perfect place to start
Because a heart that hurts,
Is a heart that works
A heart that hurts,
Is a heart that works!!!
