A Used Heart Playing the Blues
This instrument called my heart
That used to play love songs just for you
Is now old,worn and tattered
Barely even able to carry a tune
Beautiful love songs it used to play
Have now been turned to blues
From a woman I used to love
That has torn my heart in two
Melodies that would always flow
From a heart that was always so true
Now broken it hurts to even play
From a heart that's been so abused
Through loneliness a heart gets worn
Without all the love it was so used to
Leaving beautiful memories that are now forlorn
Almost unable to even play the blues
A sad song will still play on
Through these words that I call the blues
From a heart that used to play love songs
With all my heart,that were just for you
