Cold is the Night

I realize this song is about losing a mate, but it still touched a nerve with me.  I find that one of the toughest emotions I fight is apathy.  It is hard to search for relief from the pain when there is none to be had.  I know I will always miss him.  Will I always feel so broken?

Lyrics:

Cold is the night without you here

Just your absence ringing in my ears

Hard is the heart that feels no fear

Without the bad, the good disappears

Long is the road that leads me home

And longer still when I walk alone

Bitter is the thought of all that time

Spent searching for something I'll never find

Take this burden away from me

And bury it before it buries me

Many are the days I've wanted to cease

Lay myself down and find some relief

Heavy is the head that gets no sleep

We carry our lives around in our memories

Take away this apathy

And bury it before it buries me

Steady is the hand that's come to terms

With the lessons it has had to learn

I've seen the things that I must do

But Lord, this road is meant for two

So I am waiting here for you

Take my hand and set me free

Take my burdens and bury them deep

Take my burden away from me

And bury it before

Bury it before

Bury it before it buries me
