Tell me friend...did you hear it?
Or the sound it did make...
Now you have to listen closely
To hear a heart break...
And that's not something you do very well
Listening takes too much of your time
Or are you too busy to even tell?
Maybe you cared once..back in the day
When I thought my heart was yours..
And believed your heart was mine
What a fool I was..to believed you cared
To think with me, your love you shared
But it wasn't love at all
How could I have been so blind..
What a fool I was to fall...
I opened my heart just for you
as I have never done for another man
I let my guard down and welcomed you in
Which to you, really it meant nothing
Well, I suppose...maybe a fling
I have no one to blame..except maybe myself
But it won't ever happen again
There'll be no welcome for another to come in
I think I have learned my lesson
Through the many bitter tears I have cried
The day you left, a part of me
cringed in pain, suffered and died..
But I will gather the remnants of my heart
Every single piece, every single part
Is there a way that I can maybe mend
A broken heart, a let down friend..
How do I go on...or make it through the day
when the pieces of my heart
are scattered like shards of clay?
I will gather them again..one by one
And the tears I cry...will one day dry
And maybe I will find that I
can make it with out you in my life
