Analysis of awaken by heartbreak
in the dead of night
while the rest of the world is at ease
i'm awaken by heartbreak
green eyes flickering like starlight
rip me from my restless way
i grasp for air as i reach
the immense night becomes heavy
a dreamless state of being
where the heart breaks dawn
there were nights just like this
under an infinite sky
where i loved her still eyes
there were nights just like this
where i held her hand
while drifting into the calmness of sleep
now, the absence of touch
abruptly awakens my soul
a soul that searches for her
i drift, i can't breathe
i sift through memories unseen
i'm violently awaken by heartbroken dreams
