Ragged Heart
To Ragz
Be still my ragged heart,
Yours now silent and apart.
You should have never gone away
But in my heart I knew
There was no way that you could stay
Through the pain of one more day.
There was no chance to make it right
It was hopeless through the night.
Id reach out to you for warmth
I tried to memorize your touch
Until that morning when youd leave
I knew Id miss you oh so much.
You were my love and now youre gone
But your memory lingers on.
And though your love will haunt me still
I know my ragged heart will never heal
From the hurt that fate has caused
And for the years that we have lost.
I cant describe to you this pain
Because Ill never see your face again.
Your pillow waits for your return
And from this sacrifice Ive learned
I loved you then, I love you now
Will you forgive me anyhow?
Be still my ragged heart
Yours now silent and apart.
We all do what we must do
If our love is really true.
And I loved you oh so much
That I had to give you up.
But I miss your soft caress
And your quiet gentleness.
Be still my ragged heart
Yours now silent and apart.
You should have never gone away,
But in my heart I knew
There was no way that you could stay
Through the pain of one more day.
Be still my ragged heart.
