Analysis of How
How do you love a person
Who is no longer there to love?
How do you take in all the pain
When your heart was taken in vein?
How do you get up each day
When there was never any night?
How do you escape the shadow
When there is no hope for you in sight?
How did you take my love for you
And toss it away without a glance?
How did I make you hate me
Now with you I have no chance.
How do you let a damaged heart heal
When the scars are permanent, they are sealed.
How do you find your way
To feeling life again?
When the beating of my heart
Stopped beating when you walked away?
How do you say I love you
When your love for me isn't true?
How did I let you go,how can I say goodbye?
My only real happiness was gone within the blink of an eye.
I know there will be no other
For my soul died with you
Please always remember
I still love you that much I hope know is true.
