Warm Hearts Grow Cold

Even the warmest of hearts can grow cold People taking advantage of your kindness gets old Harsh and cruel are often used to describe the world in which we live You keep giving of yourself until there's nothing left to give Giving can only take you so far when you don't get anything back Everybody needs somebody to help with what they lack Even the warmest of hearts can grow cold People taking advantage of your kindness gets old You've made countless sacrifices, yet still find yourself alone You listen to what they want and need, never asking how you are on the other end of the phone You long so badly to fill this empty void Having only yourself to depend on, you often feel annoyed Even the warmest of hearts can grow cold People taking advantage of your kindness gets old People tend to be so selfish, just another cold hard fact Nobody takes the time to realize it has such a tremendous impact People get overwhelmed carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders It gets oh so tiring being your very own soldier Once upon a time we stood united as sisters and brothers It's time we get back to not just receiving, but giving love to each other
