I'D Given You My Heart

I remember when it was the two of us,
We tackled the world, and the world unfurled.
Yes things were tough, but I knew we'd be okay cause together we'd go grey.
But then a change came and I didn't know the rules of that game.

The bomb in Cape Town, first brought my world down,
Then your weekend away, well what can I say?
"I" went for mental tinkering, what the @#$% was I thinkering?
But your week away, is what caused me to pray.

And when you confessed, I crumpled to the floor like a sack of hot mess,
In tears I asked, "What have you done?" I saw our years together reduced to none.
Cause when you replied, a part of me died,
You see, I'd given you my heart, and you ripped it apart.

Your infidelity took the best of me, and @#$%^& with the rest of me,
I don't wish you ill, a part of me loves you still,
But when you gave yourself away, though you were sacred to me, I knew there and then, it would no longer "be we".
You see, I'd given you my heart, and you ripped it apart.

You made a hole in my soul, that used to be whole,
I was known as he with the grin, but the grin became thin,
In anger and pain I started again,
You see I'd given you my heart, and you ripped it apart

It hasn't been easy to get going again, I'm not the same cause ruins remain.
I got on with my life, I found me a wife,
She's too honest and true, so I shouldn't be blue.
But when I gave you my heart, you ripped it apart.
