Hello Heart, I know you weigh heavy
like being stuck deep in a levy 
with no way to climb out
why is happiness so hard to figure out?
I swallow my sorrow, constantly with no time to barrow
wishing to push off tomorrow, because today is so hard
i'm left beaten battered and scarred
looking out windows that are barred
at happy people doing joyfull things
then the phone rings and it's just more bad news
to add to my song of blues, woes and heartaches
feet pain and toothaches 
All the smiling faces asking if I'm ok
if only they new the price I have to pay
just to pretend I'm good on the outside
my shell is here, my soul is lost in the tide
vast oceans of pain and torment 
that I can forgive, but I'll never forget
I miss my son, I miss my mom!
i don't know where I could have went wrong!
alone and bleeding from my soul
the parts of me no one cares to know!
I miss my dad , I miss Gary
i regret filling my basket with to many burdens to carry
as i get closer to the end the present starts to scare me
I don't want to be The Melancholy King!
i'm sick of the pain and suffering 
and so tired of being sad
please can you give me something I've never had?
