Take the pieces
Of this broken heart
Take some glue and
Try to put it back together

Still broken
Just patched up
The pieces of me
Scattered everywhere

No one knows
Quite how it feels
To be so broken

They can try
To understand
They'll never know
How to make this heart
Fall in love again

Clearly he doesn't know
Doesn't care enough
To possibly come close to
Understanding how I feel

Oh how I wish
He knew how I felt
How I wish what we had
Could've been real

Dreams couldn't make
Someone as perfect as him
So I have to settle

Yet I know somewhere
Deep down inside
That I can so better
I really do deserve better
Than what he gave me

I'm sorry that I'm
Not good enough
That I'm not
Who you want me to be

I'm sorry that
I'm not strong enough
To carry the weight
Of the world
On my shoulders

I'm sorry I'm weak

I'm sorry I'm broken
That there's nothing left
Inside of me
I'm sorry I'm me

He's the one
Who's got it
All together
Knows who he is
What he wants

She's the girl
Who's searching
For the perfect guy
When she stumbles upon him

They lock eyes and that's it
She's done for
He's everything she wanted and more

Promise me this:
You'll catch me when I fall
Wipe my tears away
Make me laugh when I'm about to cry
Pick me up when I fall down
Love me even when you're not around

To date a poet
You gotta know a few things
We're sensitive and
Good with our words
Like to cuddle and
Watch movies and read

If you understand
All these things
You'll be set
Before you know it
You're dating a poet

What if I can't handle
It when he says no?
