I gave you my heart
you shattered it to pieces
I gave you my time
you ignored it
I tried to show you love
but you neglect me
in respect to freedom
I shall let-you-be
the sorrow my heart shall carry
in time the pain shall vary
but the memory is something I cannot bury
the sleepless nights
remembering the freight
how we crashed
why did you even say “yes”
I was slave to nature
your smiles with no make up
you said I was funny, like a stand up
now I see, it was all a setup
you had me wrapped in your hands’ like a teacup
I guess the heat I came with was not enough
saying bye before it began is really tough
one two..three four…just put me in handcuffs
I have tried this thing called ‘Love’
and have nothing to show for
the beauty, the adventure, the…is all in short-run
Alone I mend my pieces
Never again shall someone put it back to pieces
