Please Handle with Care
It's My Heart, You See
Tattered and torn,
beaten and bruised.
Stomped on, tired,
thrown away and used.
beaten and bruised.
Stomped on, tired,
thrown away and used.
Love I gave, and
a battering I got.
Broken, my heart,
Lay down to rot.
You said you loved me
with more than words.
Love I said
"It's for the birds."
My heart has vowed
to love no more.
I grabbed the key
and locked the door.
You pleaded and begged,
to give you a chance.
I cried, I hid, I fought
And then you said,
"Can I have this dance?"
My heart wrapped in pieces
mended with delicate repair.
I hand it to you,
Please handle with care.
