A broken mind

A broken mind, a broken heart,
This is tearing me apart.
I can't live with all these lies,
Don't you hate the way time just flies?
I'll never forget,
I'll never regret,
A broken heart, a broken mind,
I'll just tell you that I'm fine.
You don't care anyway,
I'll just sit down, rot away.
My friends, to me, are too kind,
A broken heart, a broken mind.
But my life is just falling apart,
A broken mind, a broken heart.
And I can't even talk to you to say that I'm sorry-
My broken heart, my broken mind.
