Hearts

When I first saw you, I thought lightning split my head
Hoping things you said
Could've told me where this led
Head spinning, I fell, under your spell
As if we could go forever

So now that it's over, what will you do?
When they talk of you
Will you make rumors true
Don't think I got through when I said I'd leave
Going off at me, refusing to see

Heard them say you hate me
Dreaming, pleading I was dead
The lies that you were fed
Said you wish we never met

I never broke a heart
Just wound up
With one's on the brink

Loneliness takes its time to bind you through the years
Blinding you with tears
Until it starts to sear
Rambling excuses only make it clear
The times that we drew near
Were simply out of primal fear

Heard them say you hate me
Dreaming, pleading I was dead
The lies that you were fed
Said you wish we never met

I never broke a heart
Just wound up
With one's on the brink
Bitterness won't suit you
Even if I was to blame
Life ain't getting any better
While you're waiting for a change
With your heart on the brink

Hearts will heal with time just as well as wounded pride
We both know we're better off, now to live our lives
Scratching wounds won't let them close though the pain is sweet
It's easier to blame me, but the hate will only grow
It's easier, easier
But it wouldn't let us go
Let us go

I never broke a heart
Just wound up
With one's on the brink
Bitterness won't suit you
Even if I was to blame
Life ain't getting any better
While you're waiting for a change
Hearts on the brink
