Broken Hearts Lie In Your Wake

Broken hearts lie in your wake From the conquests that you make From the promises you fake Broken hearts lie in your wake Broken love lies at your feet You entice with tasty treat Make impossible retreat Broken love lies at your feet Broken needs lie at your door Faces of those wanting more Those who thought love was in store Broken needs lie at your door Broken dreams lie in your hand Your love trickled through like sand Every wish seemed noble, grand Broken dreams lie in your hand Forgiveness anoints your head For parts of you that lie dead For your twisted heart has bled Forgiveness anoints your head Eileen Manassian Ghali
