GRAZED HEART

You are a vision
That only I can see
A faithful companion
A vital part of me

You shared my joys
You knew my fears
You held me up
Understood the tears

When I laughed
You always smiled back
But you’re not real
Can’t dispute the fact

~~~*Chorus*~~~
You’re a figment of my mind
Who appeared when I was young
Sitting on the river bank
Taken all that I could take
Suddenly I was in your arms
You said it will all work out somehow
Though it doesn't seem like it right now
You've just realized dreams do fall apart
Life goes on…
 It just grazed your heart
~~*~~

Doctor’s said maybe scarlet fever
Some that I must have hit my head
I always thought that you were a blessing
But illness was diagnosed instead

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
You can’t talk to a person, others cannot see
Or they will lock you up, and you'll never find the key
Some broken hearts don't heal like others do...
The crack travels to the mind, and splits in two
No one else could understand but you
And I needed you
~~*~~

It’s really not my choice
When you come and when you go
They ask me what I hear,
What I see, and what I know…
Yes I know...

~~~*2nd Chorus*~~~
You’re a figment of my mind
Who appeared when I was young
Sitting on the river bank
Taken all that I could take
Suddenly I was in your arms
You said it will all work out somehow
Though it doesn't seem like it right now
You've just realized dreams do fall apart
Life goes on…
It just grazed your heart
~~*~~

~~~*Finale*~~~
I miss you when I’m lonely
Know we must remain apart
You’re not real
But you grazed my heart
~~*~~
