I thought I was in love once
But I was just the gum upon his shoe
I let him stomp all over me
While I stuck to him like glue
He told me that he loved me
Which is why in my impressionable youth
I thought "this must be the real deal"
I thought he spoke the truth
The next time someone confessed their love
I couldn't bring myself to believe
That someone could ever care for me
I thought surely they would leave
So I pushed them away, && they did just that
They left me in a hurry
By this point I was too damaged to see
That deep down I was worthy
You see once a person is broken down
Their heart can never go back
The pieces may stick back together again
But if you look, you can still see the crack
