lyrics

Sunlight :: Shadow
written by Avy Summerlind ©2011

my heart
finds it hard
not to hurt
I’ve tried subtle distractions
to let the sadness
work its way out

still I talk in circles
with secrets
battered and bruised
shades to block the sun
from shining through
and I walk in circles
eyes closed tight
begging for a little
sunlight

but I’ve grown tired
of carrying this weight
when did the shadows
become so heavy
I’m full of love
but pulled down so far
feels like I’m breaking apart
carrying this
sad, sad heart

the morning comes
with gentleness
but in this body
I feel no difference
come out of hiding
or stay
see through the separate
aren’t we all the same

still we talk in circles
with secrets
battered and bruised
shades to block the sun
from shining through
and we walk in circles
eyes closed tight
begging for a little
sunlight

but I’ve grown tired
of carrying this weight
when did the shadows
become so heavy
I’m full of love
but pulled down so far
feels like I’m breaking apart
carrying this
sad, sad, sad heart

do you feel it too
the silent weight of something
you can never
get used to
do you feel it
do you feel it too

I am full of love
but some days it’s so dark
feels like I’m breaking apart
carrying this sad, sad heart

yeah, I am full of love
but some days it’s so dark
feels like I’m breaking apart
carrying this sadness
I’m breaking apart
underneath this sadness
I’m breaking apart
carrying this sad, sad, heart
