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
