You asked me to borrow my heart,
and gave it back to me broken.
Don't want us to be torn apart,
my words are unspoken.
Under a curse, I'm under a spell.
In another life where I'm not myslef.
Come back to the shadows,
where ever I dwell,
I'll see you,
And I know what I meant when I said

You are every tear that falls from my eyes,
Trapped inside a spiderweb of your lies,
dead inside.
And you are every little thing that makes me smile,
Every moment I wated was worth the while,
Now I breathe,
Alive for the first time.

Destined to keep moving on,
on a path leading nowhere.
Just another game that I lost,
I need you but you dont care.
Can you see what I see,
Can you show me the way?
I got lost in your lies,
Where I seem to fade
You're my light in the darkness,
My cure for disease,
So why didn't you hear me when I said

You are every tear that falls from my eyes,
Trapped inside a spiderweb of your lies,
dead inside.
And you are every little thing that makes me smile,
Every moment I wated was worth the while,
Now I breathe,
Alive for the first time.

For the first time in my life,
I feel the truth can't be told,
Nothing else for me to hold onto,
I see you where ever I go,
But I can't be there, always waiting,
As I feel you fading away...
You asked me to barrow my heart
and gave it back to me shattered
Into a million pieces but I still say

You are my friend when I need one and
You are my answer to the world.

You are every tear that falls from my eyes,
Trapped inside a spiderweb of your lies,
dead inside.
And you are every little thing that makes me smile,
Every moment I wated was worth the while,
Now I breathe,
Alive for the first time.

grammar isn't just spelling. it's how things are read. there are parts i had to read a few times to get it. like i said though, they're minor. the poem itself is very good

It's never to late, if it weren't for the last minute many things would never get done!

Wow! A gorgeous, relatable song. I wish I could hear this song the way you imagined it!

What grammar? The only thing was that I misspelled "waiting". What else?

Yes, I noticed that the word that I frequently mispelled was "wated" which was supposed to be "wasted" :) Thanks for the great comments guys :)

This poem really spoke to me. I loved the lines that you used especially " You are every tear the falls from eyes, Trapped inside a spiderweb of your lies."  Every girl gets hurt by a guy like how you put it in your poem, so most girls can relate. Just watch for some spelling errors because I saw a couple.
