Un-Break My Heart

When a heart gets broken, getting to mend it seems impossible simply because the pain is often unbearable. During these times, we are most vulnerable, afraid of being left alone and in darkness, and all that we want is for things to return to what they were before.

Don’t leave me in all this pain
Don’t leave me out in the rain
Come back and bring back my smile
Come and take these tears away

We remember the parting words that were said, and how they continue to hurt us. Even as those tears keep falling, we secretly long that they will be kissed away, and that goodbye will turn into a hello.

Take back that sad word goodbye
Bring back the joy to my life
Don’t leave me here with these tears
Come and kiss this pain away

Yes, the pain that comes with a broken heart is immense and can be overwhelming. This is why we want to avoid facing it, making a fervent wish that our hearts can be unbroken and the tears that we shed for countless nights can be uncried.

Un-break my heart
Say you’ll love me again
Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked out of my life
Un-cry these tears
I cried so many nights
