When can my heart beat again? When does the pain ever end? When do the tears stop from running over? When does "you'll get over it" begin?

And when can I breathe once again? And when can I see you? When does my someday begin When I'll find someone again And what if I still am not truly over What am I supposed to do then Please hear what I'm sayin' Even if, if it's not making sense So when can I see you When can I see you again? When can my heart beat again? When can I see you again? And when can I breathe once again? And when can I see you again? Please hear what I'm sayin' Even if, if it's not making sense So when can I see you When can I see you again? can my heart beat again? When can I see you again? And when can I breathe once again?
