A Broken Heart

Heard someone crying 
Went to see who was the one

Saw a girl behind a tree
She was crying so hard

Wanted to do something
To make her feel better inside

But she couldn't even hear me
Trying to make her feel calm

She gave me something
In a cardboard box

"What's inside?"
"Nothing but a sign of love"

I opened the box
And saw a bleeding thing shaped like a heart

When I turned around
There was no one

But a voice whispering
The sign of love is inside your heart

'cause You tried to make me feel better inside
I was dead...But you're not

So don't let them tear your heart apart
Like they did to mine

Now I have NO heart
'Cause I'm giving you mine

You should have TWO hearts
If you want to stay ALIVE

Don't let them break BOTH hearts
Mine is the spare one
