The broken truth

Lily Mae 2011 (Missouri)

The ache in my heart is more than I can bear.
What did I do wrong?
That you would crush the very life out of me, dear?
Then I hear the sad song.
And I don't want to hear.
The days are so long.
Without you near though i hold my heart so strong
While singing this sad sad song.
