Unguarded Heart
So you’ve been discarded
Like the trash you thought you were
And all the fears you can’t defer
Steal the heart you left unguarded
You feared she didn’t feel the same
She new her mind changed about you, though
She never cared enough to let you know
You’re left with nothing but your shame
But boy, didn’t you have fun?
You both had a good run
But now you're just down to one
And It’s all coming undone
If you keep wishing for death
You may just live to regret it
Fossilize in your tar pit
Feel your lungs running out of breath
But boy, didn’t you have fun?
You both had a good run
Now you're just down to one
And It’s all coming undone
My friend, you’ve been discarded
Like the trash you thought you were
And all those fears you'll never defer
Steal the heart you left unguarded
