Splinter Heart

You left me out in the rain
Then hung me out to dry
Since that night things aren't the same
You don't even try
And every time you come around
You prop me up to knock me down
But when you cross the line
I'm on the other side
This isn't my fault
You're the one who chooses when I fall
So sick of blaming you
When sticks and stones hit skulls and bones
You break apart
My splinter heart
My splinter heart
Is it the beer or the whisky
(the whisky)
That's got you out of bounds
(so out of bounds)
Don't you see that you miss me?
(you miss me)
When I stand my ground
You crave that sound when we collide
You need the power that comes with the crown you've been denied
And every time you've tried
You've fallen off to the dark side
This isn't my fault
You're the one who chooses when I fall
So sick of blaming you
When sticks and stones hit skulls and bones
You break apart
My splinter heart
My splinter heart

If this is all just a game to you
Who will win this time?
When you play do you aim or do you just not have a type?
Are you feeling bitter?
Are you committed or playing with her?
Well we'll see who gets hurt
While my heart's in splinters
This isn't my fault
You're the one who chooses when I fall
So sick of blaming you
This game you play is give and take
After all you've put me through
You know I'm playing, too
My splinter heart
