My Sorrow and My Pain

I give up my heart too easily
that's my sorrow and my pain.
And though I've tried to keep it under lock and key
it seems it's got loose once again.
It's right there before you in plain sight
and for everyone in the world to see,
and though it's so, it seems you'll never know,
what it is you've come to mean to me.
Yes that's my sorrow and my pain.

You treat me worse that I've ever known
that's my sorrow and my pain.
I cling on and wait for just one kind word,
and fool that I am I feel no shame.
You completely ignore my emotions
and laugh at me when I turn away.
And though I wait for a sign, it seems you only have time
for the games that you want to play.
Yes that's my sorry and my pain.

So I'm going to take a step backwards,
that's my sorrow and my pain,
and cry for a while at the thought of a smile
that I can't ever let my heart see again.
So for all the hurt that you've caused me
for all that has been and can never be,
For the tears I have shed for a love that has fled,
oh how I wish you could know how THAT feels.
Yes, that's my sorry and my pain.
