my heart it aches

i did it again
i built myself up
put myself to the test
not the first time i've done this
not even the last
every time that try
i end up dying a little more inside

i wanna smile with success
but i know that ain't commin
what more can i say
...you set me up
then put me down...
though twas done softly...and ever so sweetly
i'll close my heart for a time
slowly heal myself inside

don't worry though
your not one who can scar me
only very few can
and one in particular am i still healing

i'll keep smiling
i'll keep laughing
i'll keep being the me you know

so don't worry
just hug me
i'll keep on walking my path

....won't
             let
                     this
                               drag
on
        my
                  life.
