Blissfully Broken

You could say this was the end

But let’s be honest: You’re not dying

You could say you saw it coming

But then you’d have to say you were lying


No one ever does…

Left with just because…

Looking for what was…

No words to be spoken.


Falling to pieces. It never ceases

Because we’d miss it if it was gone

We continue on, because we love

But no one said it’d take this long


No one ever does…

Left with just because…

Looking for what was…

None of us have woken.


When it happens enough we start to grow cold

It no longer phases and we no longer see

Who’s next in line? We don’t even care

Follow a routine and never allow it to be


No one ever does…

Left with just because…

Looking for what was…

Blissfully broken.


It would bother us more, if we weren’t so desperate

It would tug at the heartstrings if we only let it

But we smother it up and never fan the flame

Forget names, back to the same at any rate


No one ever does…

Left with just because…

Looking for what was…

None of us have woken.


We might smile less, mentally digress, and become a mess

But we would be in more pain, if it didn’t happen again and again

None of us will lie down and none of us will roll over

And while we toss and turn, we continue to chase until it happens


No one ever does…

Left with just because…

Looking for what was…

Denying what was spoken.


Why do we allow this to go on?

Because we have no control over it

Why do we believe that this will end?

Because we’ve seen others with it

Why do we compare ourselves to those around?

Because we feel lost and think they are found

Why do we allow this all to go on?

Because they are out there, because of that one


There’s a love out there who knows we care

There’s a hope at play which makes us dismay

There’s a tension in this wild obsession

But we all know we wouldn’t have it any other way


No one ever does…

Left with just because…

Looking for what was…

Blissfully broken.


We move on and then we move together

Haunted by our pasts, haunted by each other

No one wants a new one, and no one thinks they’re better

Everyone just moving, simply moving forever


No one ever does…

Left with just because…

Looking for what was…

None of us have woken.


Come across someone unique and your heart is lifted

Stay around someone genuine and your mind is in denial

Give up and give in to someone and your heart is trapped

Wake up to find no one and your body fights for survival


No one ever does…

Left with just because…

Looking for what was…

No words to be spoken.


Wake up to find yourself happy but still not well

Smile on your face, thinking only time will tell

In the end you move on, because it’s what’s expected

In the end you start again, despite what you said


No one ever does…

Left with just because…

Looking for what was…

Blissfully broken.
