Don't Recycle My Heart

I'm not the girl you think I am
And I don't have what you need
You've taken all I have to give
And it's past time that I concede
These novelty items remind you of me
Just a cheaper version of my insanity
I'm something you could never understand

So stop stalking my soul
Find one of your own
Why should you want mine
Ragged with the holes you've sewn

You can't recycle a broken heart
It'll never work
It'll always fall apart

You treat me like the fucking queen
You know not what I need, not what I dream
And I find it ironic that you've lost yourself
Trying to find the person behind the scream

Your every move is calculated
And I'm tired of being manipulated
I'm not putty in your hands
And I'm afraid you'll never understand

Because
You can't recycle a broken heart
It'll never work
The pieces will always fall apart

You can't stitch me back together
The scars are still too raw
And I'm not your fucking china doll
You can't hit erase and then redraw

You try to breathe color
Into my dark existence
But you're suffocating me
I can't grasp my resistance
And I know you're not listening

I warned you
You can't recycle a broken heart
It'll never work
It'll always fall apart

We're from two different worlds
And you got lost along the path
It's time to find where you belong
Before you recognize the aftermath

I'm building up immunities
For your heart is on your sleeve
If only I could disappear
Get away from the thievery

I'm not the girl you think I am
And you're not what I need
You've stolen all I have to give
And it's past time that I concede

Be careful what you wish for
Because you can't recycle a broken heart
It'll never work, I'll always fall apart
Don't say I didn't warn you
