Portrait of a Thousand Hearts

I’ve been playing it safe for way too long Leaving pieces of you behind The sound of rain Falling in my head She put midnight beneath my fallen stars She was everything I couldn’t be apart of I didn’t sleep last night Your message was all I thought of Must I break a thousand hearts to find you I want it to be everything That wont bring you a hard time Afraid to enjoy my time with you We both know it has to end She said I’m not promised tomorrow But I’m not sure I want to give it up The more I comforted her The more I felt she needed me Must I break a thousand hearts to find you People who see balanced Find it hard to look away from life She doesn’t like it when she cries But at least she still feels Must I break a thousand hearts Just to find you Must I break a thousand hearts Just to find you

It's always sad when someone has to be hurt if a relationship does not prove mutually rewarding. Perhaps your heart has been broken too, so you can relate to how she feels. She will come around and thank you for not leading her on when she finds her true match. Love, Carolyn
