Red Heart

I have in my deepest heart All the people and all the things That keep me up and draw bright red numbers down I saw the side of marriage that children fear I fell for some one I shouldn't have I fell for two some ones I broke a lost heart I woke up a scaled king I helped shatter a mind I drew a dark letter on my life I confessed my heart, drunk on the phone I was unproductive I let things happen I let people manipulate me I fell for a goddess who can never bless me I cried I was afraid I drew another dark letter I colored it red And then I did the worst thing in the world I just kept digging that dark hole deeper I only have myself to blame And the scariest part is It only starts out red
