I gave my heart to you,
But you don't know what to do with it.
Protect it, I say.
Don't just handle it any ol' kind of way.
Keep it close...don't hold it so far away.
Giving other pieces of my heart.
Denying the love I have for you, for us.

I don't know why i even try.
You don't see things the way I do.
You think loves a game to be played between many,
But to me, loves no game.
And now because you didn't care,
Neither do I.

I put you on a pedestal.
Cherished you like no other.
Loved you when others told me not to.
It's too soon they said.
It'll never work...you'll see.
But i was blinded by love.
Or at least the idea of it.
Well, i guess they were right.
Another lesson learned.

Never again will I fall victim.
I'm shutting my heart down.
No more love for me...it only leads to heartbreak.
It only leads to tears and pain.
Resentment and insecurity.
A loss.

Well, goodbye love and heartache.
I'm someone new.
I'm in a new place.
And guess what?
Love don't live here anymore.
