I lost my heart a long time ago
I've been trying to find it
Around every corner.
I think it's time, to go back
To the place I lost it
Stop looking for it
In every pair of sad eyes
In every pair of toxic lips
That taste like the honey
That makes hazy.
In every grip of hands
That pin me down
And tell me lies I want to hear.
Because that wasn't love,
Love doesn't hurt
Love doesn't make you want to rip your chest open to see if there's a piece of your heart still left.
Love doesn't neglect and make you feel unwanted.
I hope my heart comes back to find me
And when it does I hope it gleams like an emerald.

I lost my heart a long time ago
I've been trying to find it
Around every corner.
I think it's time, to go back
To the place I lost it
Stop looking for it
In every pair of sad eyes
In every pair of toxic lips
That taste like the honey
That makes hazy.
In every grip of hands
That pin me down
And tell me lies I want to hear.
Because that wasn't love,
Love doesn't hurt
Love doesn't make you want to rip your chest open to see if there's a piece of your heart still left.
Love doesn't neglect and make you feel unwanted.
I hope my heart comes back to find me
And when it does I hope it gleams like an emerald.
