Will Knox - The Matador & The Acrobat

Heart Strings

I hope you remembered me
Since I've been gone
I'm sorry for leaving you so long

I don't want to be a box of toys
Waiting to be sold
While you forget me
And start growing old

Oh these heart strings
You plucked and you played
Are worn out and ready to break
Oh these heart strings
You strummed and you strained
Once sung you softly
Play me again

Though I'm a pile of old papers
Torn up and ripped
My print will still linger
On your fingertips

And maybe I'm history
Yesterday's news
But please don't neglect me
Like a dress you outgrew

Oh these heart strings
You plucked and you played
Are worn out and ready to break
Oh these heart strings
You strummed and you strained
Will snap before you play them again
