Burned

It's funny how quickly things can change,

One moment you're flying high,

Unstoppable, unbeatable,

Like a diamond in the sky.

And in an instant, just a moment in time,

You crash to the ground like a rock.

And the weight of sadness holds you down,

As you stare at the motionless clock. 

All it takes is one word, just a mere syllable,

And you feel your heart tear in two.

So you stumble and fall as you try to stand tall,

But you know the sad's inside of you.

And the world seems so dark the next day,

As you struggle to keep a straight face

For your friends and your family who all have no idea

Because you won't let it show, not a trace.

It's funny how much you can care,

Think you know someone right to their core,

But then watch as they get up and walk away

From things of which you'd thought you were sure.

And it's eating you up inside

Though you'd never tell a soul

About the sorrow and pain and everything sad

Making your heart feel heavy and full

And it's funny how much you can love

Even when it isn't returned

It's funny how many times you will try

Only once again to be burned
