Love Hurts

I gave you my heart
and you stomped that sucker flat.
Maybe someone else can
but I can't live like that.
Marriage vows mean nothing
to a heart that can't be true.
Though I tried to make you happy
there's no more I can do.
I'll be here if you want me
just a stupid, foolish man.
My love won't let me turn away
tho you've shown me that you can.
