This Little Heart of Mine
How dare you lie to me; You said you will never leave
That day you birth you see; There was no gettin rid of me
You bought a gift in this world; My heart you said; you will always hold
You said you will never leave me hungry
Yet I stayed and there was still no food to eat
I gave you time after time and chance after chance
and still you break this little heart of mine.
I gave you all of my money; You went to your friends and laughed like it's funny
You took them out Paid for their drinks and their high.
Not worried about the tears in my eyes. As I wait for you to return daily
You laid up smoked out faithfully; I'm worried about where you are
And me being in your world is very far; Listening to the lies flyin out of your mouth,
as you continue to leave and I continue to pout and time after time I watch you
break this little heart of mine.
I can't keep lettin you break my heart
I feel like the bull's eye and someone hittin me with the dart
I'm full of pain and through my poems I really gain
Gain the strengh to trust in the Lord cause I know can't no one
beat him he has the biggest sword.
You coming to me with a story of some sort
I'm becoming immune to being hurt
and all you have to say for yourself is;
You found someone to care for me
Guess What Mom?? You were all that I need.
