Betrayed By My Own Heart

I am betrayed by my own heart It's a crime to love How could my heart do this again Broken and wrecked I can't trust my heart Why would you love again... Why? After all the hurt, my heart still has hope... The hope of love! I am betrayed by my own heart Why would you want to shackle my soul and enslave me once more Loving someone is a punishment I spend my time counting the seconds when they leave to be with another... Their perfect mate I will never be rejected again They pretend they care then crush me... Love... Takes all you've got I can't trust my heart The hope of love... Endless love, don't belong here, only betrayal and pain I am betrayed by my own heart It hurts to know it's your own heart you can't trust Loving someone means giving everything I can't give myself again... I can't! I will never allow myself to say those words again 'I love you', forbidden words It's better to love and lost than never to love at all...isn't that a crime... I only know lost I don't want to love again.. No... No.. No more pain... That hurt will never come again I will not be betrayed by my own heart
