My heart is shattered and scattered across the floor.
Where were you to sweep up the dust;
To put me together and bring my heart back where it was?
Are you too lazy to care anymore?

If I was a flower I thought you were the bee;
Flying around and seeing all there was to see.
But, I know now that you were nothing but a pest,
Breaking off my petals and creating a mess.

If I was a cloud I thought you were the rain;
Pouring down to explore the world,
But always coming back again.
However this time I realize you stayed on the ground;
Never coming back and creating a drought.

My heart is shattered and scattered across the floor,
And you're not here to pick me up anymore.
So, I'll get down on my knees and collect all the pieces,
Remembering the day I realized I don't need this.
