Flat Tire

I was rolling along just fine, thank you until I came across you Like a nail in the road, you poked a vicious hole in my heart, and I went flat And it was a rough ride for a while there and noisy, too- ka-WHUMP ka-WHUMP ka-WHUMP my heart pathetically loped along hoping you would return to fill the hole you’d made But now, it’s through, I’m over you I have a brand new heart and a much more careful driver at the wheel

It seems sad to me that it often takes a much more careful driver before we can get over the puncture in the heart, but this is precisely what happens. Nice one, Rhona. I love it!
