You Ran My Heart Over

I would never make a fuss
The way you crashed just like a bus
Into my life and ran me over
You were like a four leaf clover
Hard to find and so unique
Wheels of love rolled in to seek
My heart for a special journey
There was no way you could curb me
And stop me from entering
Through open door so I can win
The greatest trip I'll ever find
Now I don't feel left behind
You honked your horn for me to hear
The sound of someone who would care
Driving me down streets of love
Handling me with kid gloves
Because I have been run down
And then dragged all over town
Left with lots of tire tracks
Of cheating behind my back
And skid marks that leave me bruised
Now weary I look for clues
To see if a love will be
The real true thing for me
And you passed each secret test
You are certainly the best
Ride that's ever come along
Of a love so deeply strong

You always come up with such cool metaphors for cheating or being hurt by someone, this time those skid marks that leave you bruised! I sure enjoyed this, sweetie.
