IT'S JUST THE WAY THE HEART CRUMBLES

If i just stay busy

I won't lose my mind.

If I only watch comedies

I won't just keep crying.

If I stay asleep

I don't h ave to be aware of this feeling.

It's just the way things are.

If I keep up pictures of us together

I won't have to remember that we're not.

And if I never look at my phone

I won't have to see

that your name isn't there.

If I remember when you said you loved me

I can convince myself you still do.

It's just the way things are.

If I don't look in the mirror
I won't have to remember
that the girl I see
Isn't who you want.
If I go to church
I can remind myself
that someone's still there.

But no matter what I do
or what I say or avoid
there is no escape for a
broken heart.
