(1st Verse)
As I sit here alone, I have to deal with a heavy heart,
What did I ever do to make us break apart?
If I had figured you were doing this to me before,
You would've been completely shunned and ignored.
Sometimes I just wish our love was for real,
Because now I have to suffer through this until I completely heal.

(Chorus)
Oh! The heartbreaks,
The Tears,
And The Pain.
I just don’t know why you keep playing this game.
You break my heart and later come running back,
To come and claim everything you now lack.
I keep on playing along and accepting your challenge,
But now, I’m making you leave me, unbalanced.
I’m throwing away your love I once adored,
Because I don’t need your love anymore.

(2nd verse)
I wish our GOOD memories together were countless,
But mostly, I wish our love for each other was endless,
But now I’ve finally woken up and realized,
That your love for me wasn’t really full sized.
And instead you’ve treated me like a mound of dirt,
Well that is going to end today because I’ve become more alert.

(Chorus)
Oh! The heartbreaks,
The Tears,
And The Pain.
I just don’t know why you keep playing this game.
You break my heart and later come running back,
To come and claim everything you now lack.
I keep on playing along and accepting your challenge,
But now, I’m making you leave me, unbalanced.
I’m throwing away your love I once adored,
Because I don’t need your love anymore.

(Bridge)
Oh! I loved you and exposed my heart to you,
But that’s the worst thing I could’ve ever got myself into.
So go away because I don’t want to continue going through this war,
I don’t need you or your love anymore!

(Chorus)
Oh! The heartbreaks,
The Tears,
And The Pain.
I just don’t know why you keep playing this game.
You break my heart and later come running back,
To come and claim everything you now lack.
I keep on playing along and accepting your challenge,
But now, I’m making you leave me, unbalanced.
I’m throwing away your love I once adored,
Because I don’t need your love anymore

This song means a lot to me. I put a lot of time and effort into it. I worked hard to make the words come out and really say something to the readers/listeners who can relate.

So is this a guitar piece? A piano piece? It'd be good on both, but it'd be easier to hear if I knew. Very good. I'm surprised that you connected each verse and then the bridge, but it did seem a little bland. Then again, I listen to far out Indie music, but I did like it.

Hey there! I never read songs, but I enjoyed reading this one. I could picture hearing it on the radio. So, I have heard many songs about heartbreaks, but this one was different to me. Maybe it is the way you worded things or the actual word choices, but it came off as different than the others, which is special. The second verse was my favorite, the only thing is I didn't really like the 'mound of dirt' part, I know that it rhymed but everything in the song was so sophisticated and sincere and I think maybe choosing a different simile would be better. But, that's just a suggestion so take it lightly! I liked the chorus quite a bit, really well written! Details are clear and this is very easy to understand. The emotions are also very sincere, so great job!
