I placed my heart in your hands..
That summer, long ago.
So naive.. so pure before I let myself go.
It was there I fell for you.
Behind that Oklahoma sky.
In love with a man who had the devils grin.
These are all faded memories, scattered, deep within my mind. Places I never visit.
Places I never give any of my time.
The only evidence left in these memories, is one undeniable truth...
.
If you had never ripped my heart in two,
I would have never become bran new.
I had no idea who I was back then.
All I knew was that I loved you.
Who knew,
That I’d find strength from the pain.
I have you to thank for showing me my greatest lesson I’ve learned thus far.
Thank you for breaking my heart, it was the worst pain I’d ever felt.
It took you not loving me at all, for me to fully and completely, love myself.
