Broken Heart

That day I saw you suffering

I just knew I must respond

I couldn’t help but think

Of the times that I’ve been wronged

I couldn’t just sit on the fence

And let you cry alone.

Just to make a difference

So your heart could soar again

I Thought I had what this take

I just wanted to “be there”

Did it take this heartbreak

Just to show someone I care?

Never stopped to count the cost

Or think twice about the pain

Now I am afraid I’ve lost

And I’m not sure what I’ve gained

Did I sacrifice enough

To make a difference?

Was it just misguided love

that would not let me stop?

Was it just my wounded pride

That shattered my own heart?

Those lonely nights I cried
