Jerry Golden Poet Lyric

Portrait of a Thousand Hearts

I’ve been playing it safe for way too long
Leaving pieces of you behind
The sound of rain
Falling in my head

She put midnight beneath my fallen stars
She was everything I couldn’t be apart of
I didn’t sleep last night
Your message was all I thought of 

Must I break a thousand hearts to find you

I want it to be everything
That wont bring you a hard time
Afraid to enjoy my time with you 
We both know it has to end 

She said I’m not promised tomorrow
But I’m not sure I want to give it up 
The more I comforted her 
The more I felt she  needed me 

Must I break a thousand hearts to find you 

People who see balanced
Find it hard to look away from life 
She doesn’t like it when she cries 
But at least she still feels 

Must I break a thousand hearts 
Just to find you 
Must I break a thousand hearts
Just to find you

Carolyn Devonshire July 25, 2009 at 1:12 PM It's always sad when someone has to be hurt if a relationship does not prove mutually rewarding. Perhaps your heart has been broken too, so you can relate to how she feels. She will come around and thank you for not leading her on when she finds her true match. Love, Carolyn
