Burned and broken

How many times do I have to go through this
Before it penetrates the barricades and barriers
Set forth? They're set forth, just set it down
And how many times do I have to break my heart
Before it permanently falls to pieces, million pieces?
(Just let this heart go, let this heart go...)

But it's what I know
Is that when you go
My heart hangs between my conscience and my soul
But it's what you said
After the lies and bloodshed
That is making it so hard to let go

How many times do we have to go through this
Before we realize that all the dreams we worked so hard for
Are lost? They're gone forever
And how many days will it be until you see
That I'm drifting farther from our vision of perfection?
(It's so hard for us to be just friends)

Of all that I wanted
And all that i needed
Is now slipping from my grasp, I cant let go
Of your eyes
And of your smile
And everything we had, that is now burned and broken
