[ a heart is such a fragile thing, ]

a heart is such a fragile thing,
not meant to be handled rough,
held together with gossamer string,
broken ever so easily.

a heart is such a fragile thing,
it can't take such constant strain,
especially not one that's already been broken,
especially not one shown so much pain.

a heart is such a fragile thing,
mine's weak and barely beating,
empty and bled white,
living each day haunted by memories,
hoping it all stops tonight.

A heart is such a fragile thing,
not meant to be pulled in so many directions
mine was already in pieces,
i'm sorry for all the defection.

i apologize for the state of my heart,
its in ruins, imperfect, in shards,
it's feeling impaired,
full of weakness and void of truth.

but it doesn't matter anymore,
because you never really cared,
there was never any warmth in what we shared.
i've lost sight of what i was fighting for.

but what was i ever fighting for anyway?
i kept reaching out to you, but you kept moving away.
i tried so hard to find you, to reach you, to speak to you,
but you never had anything to say.

i wanted to take this moment,
to say things i've been dying to say,
i've given you so many chances,
each time you've thrown them away.

i'm through trying to be with you,
i'm finished trying to please you,
you're a waste of time, i don't need you,
it's better off this way.
