i felt this sudden pain,
it was the worst pain i'd ever felt,
i looked down to see the pieces of my shattered heart in my hands,
and when i looked up expecting to see your face,
you were gone.
when i called to you and asked what happend,
you said i love "her" now...
and once again i felt the pain,
this time i knew what i'd find if i looked down,
so i didn't i kept my eyes up,
afraid of how much worse it could be,
you laughed and walked away,
and instinctively i looked down,
there in my hands was my shattered heart.

There's not much that's more painful than a broken heart.
