Don't believe the doctor
if they say no one can die
from a broken heart.
I will tell you why.
One day I fell in love,
I fell hard, so hard
I became blinded
by it's beautiful display,
it caught my attention
and my wandering eye.
But soon it caught me
by surprise, it was broken,
and no batteries were included.
It took all I had,
told me lies,
stole my heart and
damaged my life.
Though I was broken,
life always passes by,
time heals all
but scares are left behind.
I might be softer from ware,
but I am not going to be softer
the next time love catches my eye.
I know better.
For now I suffer from high blood pressure.
Doctor can't figure out why.
