if I would’ve known
how much a heart aches
when it finally hits the floor
after falling in love
for such a long time
I don’t know if I would’ve started

they say
for every positive
there is a negative
and from all the
days we were together
I'm spending just as many
sewing my heart back together

I know only one is feeling this
we may have shared the love
but only I am suffering the bitter hate

you picked up your next love
like he was waiting for you
I put down your heart
like it was melted on to my hands
from the long hot nights
when it was all new to us
but now
that’s old news
more time has passed than
we were together
the hot has long turned cold
with you on to you next man
and my heart finally stitched
back in to place
