Heartache

Heartache
 
Lying here sleepless my room’s pitch dark
And I have a constant aching of the heart
 
I lay and wonder will true love ever find me
Laying here awake now it’s a quarter to three
 
My frozen heart it still aches for love
Lord send me blessings from above
 
My soul it travels to somewhere out in space
There’s so much heartache I still have to face
 
My broken life lies in pieces on the floor
Still just the same as it did before
 
Life may be a winding river that leads to the sea
Wish life would give me the freedom to believe
 
Somewhere deep down in my bleeding heart
Burns an ember just awaiting a fire to start
 
How I wish I had a pair of wings so I could fly
Would never allow another day of loneliness to go by
 
Night after night I sit by the telephone
Yet here I am still silently waiting all alone
 
I’ve got a constant aching deep within my heart
Been waiting forever for the rainclouds to part
 
Can close my eyes can’t make the pain go away
As long as I’m alone the heartache is here to stay
 
 There’s got to be somebody out there for me
Lord open my eyes because I’m too blind to see
 
Love please tell me that you haven’t forsaken me
Flow through my lonely heart so you can set me free
