“I don’t have a heart.”

I’ve told you this from the start

There’s no getting through

Your head, as hard as rock

If I didn’t care … I wouldn’t be telling you.

Stuck between a rock and a heart place where my heart has no place because he took up all the space

It’s not you it’s just the last dog I was with knew how to scratch

The loyalty faded because I put him on too long of a leash

If I knew better I would’ve tightened the collar so hard his neck would have snapped.

A dog is a man’s best friend… I guess that myth failed me in the end.

Keep saying I’ll change and you’ll see it as clear as day

The pain from that heartbreak will never go away.



“I’ll never love again.”

I told Cupid a while ago to stay away

Because the last time his heart shaped dagger pierced my delicate skin

Lets just say the wound hasn’t been whole ever since.

You say you’re different,

But it’s not true,

You’re common.

Kicking rocks and I’ve always picked up big stones

Maybe a pebble won’t break my sensitive glass home



“I have a heart?”

Ta Tum

Ta Tum

Ta Tum

My heart has been beating but now it’s working

Just like a drummer needs every limb to play

I need every limb to hold you

The rhymes of our hearts are in sync

Your effort no longer goes unnoticed

I see how hard you try not to miss a beat.



“You’re my heart”

Thank you for guiding me and showing me love.

I’ve never wanted Cinderella’s life but you rescued me from a dark, cold, dusty cellar

Which I tried calling my heart

Kicking rocks and I stumbled upon a pebble that changed into my Prince Charming

I’m ready to narrate my own happy ever after

Because with you everything feels whole

You’re the one I always want to hold

Looking around at all the hearts floating by

I realized Cupid’s not such a bad guy

This time he finally got it right

This time love and me don’t have to fight.
