I was left wide open
as though cut by a knife
Everyone could see the hurt on my face
through the tears I cried
Shock and pain no noise
just a silence that filled the empty space
And that hole in my heart that consumes me
each and every day
Don't lie and say you'll love me forever
if you're after a good time girl
My old heart it loves too quickly
and smashed pieces take a long time to heal
Don't gift me the stars and the moon
if you're planning on parting tomorrow
Don't fill me full of love and hope
then dash it all with sorrow
If you're only going to use and abuse me
don't make yourself my world
Don't try and make me fall for you
if I'm not going to be your girl
And please, most of all,
don't promise me love and your life,
if you're only planning on spending tonight.
