We Were Two Broken Hearts
We Were Two Broken Hearts
By: Aidan Gilbert
Stormy night
Muscles tensed a little too tight
I tried to forget about you
From love I could start new
But when I said I’ll loose you I lied
But telling myself that I don’t want to try
Love is so powerful
It destroys my soul
Making each day a new low
But it also made me feel so strong
Something telling me what we had wasn’t that wrong
Our love had a special magic to it
Tearing at every emotion I thought it could never hit
I know I’m weak
But sorrow and desire from me leaks
What do I say
To love I’m a slave
It kills me every single day
From my heart’s tore
Emotions from missing you pour
My heart can’t take it anymore
But on the outside I’m too stubborn to cry
Too stubborn to accept that my feelings for you never died
But then you show up at front door wanting me back
Guess there wasn’t something I lacked
When I opened the door and saw your face
My stubbornness left and our love I could trace
But I left my empty heart a little to vast
You saying, “I love you,” came a little too fast
Your emotion flooded me like a storm
Changing my hearts form
I don’t ask why you did this to me
Something tells me this was destiny
I now know once more your face I had to see
Maybe we just needed a little break
But this doesn’t mean our former hurt is fake
Something beyond us wanted us to work it out
It put your motorcycle to my house’s route
Well, now you’re here with me
You’re my key
Come in and dance with me
Outside in the rain is now place for you
Our sad love turned to joy and was made new
Now you don’t have to look at me through a photograph
Now in person I can hear you laugh
For each other we were meant
Through your broken heart to me you were sent
So to dance you moved all the furniture
This time this love will work out for sure
Your voice I don’t want to hear
I just want to be held near
I just want to feel your breath
I want you and nothing less
I want to stay forever in the moment
This time with nothing to resent
So now I’m being held to our song
Nothing about this feels wrong
Then when the clock struck midnight
I was in your arms and in your sight
You gave me a kiss I haven’t had in a while
Got my heartbeat running a million miles
I have right now the taste of your lips
Your warm hands on my hips
Everything is perfect
We were two broken hearts
Healed with love when we rushed back to the start
So you can keep me
Until it’s time to leave
