You thought you drove a nail into my heart
When you said goodbye
Left me here to stand alone
Thinking I would cry
Your nail it only pricked a bit
As it narrowly missed its mark
Because the point that it was aiming for
Did not contain my heart
Walk away and take your tools
Your hammer and your nail
And the next time that you aim
You'll only hurt yourself
You see the heart that you were seeking
To drive your nail into
Does not belong to me
As I gave it to you

You thought you drove a nail into my heart
When you said goodbye
Left me here to stand alone
Thinking I would cry
Your nail it only pricked a bit
As it narrowly missed its mark
Because the point that it was aiming for
Did not contain my heart
Walk away and take your tools
Your hammer and your nail
And the next time that you aim
You'll only hurt yourself
You see the heart that you were seeking
To drive your nail into
Does not belong to me
As I gave it to you
