Mended But Still Empty Heart

Author: Larry Whitler

I layed down to cry
Layed down beside your faded photo
With memories clear as the sky
But I never cried
Though I surely tried to

I don't try to cry just for the pain
I don't cry that my trying's in vain
I don't cry that my world fell apart
I cry for my mended but still empty heart

Must I carry on
Wandering aimlessly, stumbling,
Wondering where I went wrong
But I never cry
Though sometimes I try to

I don't try to cry just for the pain
I don't cry that my trying's in vain
I don't cry that my world fell apart
I cry for my mended but still empty heart

I layed down to sleep
Layed down beside your empty pillow
Where sometimes we'd share our dreams
And I nearly cried
But I didn't try to

I don't try to cry just for the pain
I don't cry that my trying's in vain
I don't cry that my world fell apart
I cry for my mended but still empty heart

I cry for my mended but still empty heart
