How many heart strings have to break Before you die of a broken heart? How many shards of glass must enter my skin Before im completely torn apart? How many times can someone be beaten and battered Before they become broken for good? How many hearts in the world feel numb From the ice growing around them? But is the ice on your heart There to heal it from pain Or is it there Because you no longer care? Play the blues on my Heart strings So that I can feel the rhythm As I sing.
