Patchwork Heart

Got me pinned in a corner         
Got me pinned to your lies                 
Got me pinned between bed sheets                 
With just a look of your eyes

And now I’m starting to wonder
If you were ever to go
And took out those pins
How long would I hold?

‘Cause I have a patchwork heart
And you are tearing it apart

You put back the pieces
Of my broken dreams
But now you’re pulling away
And I’m being torn at the seams

Got me pinned to your promises
Even though they’re so easy to break
Got me pinned to your excuses
Don’t know how much more I can take

You’re holding me down
Wish the binding thread I could sever
But you’re the only thing
That’s keeping me together

‘Cause I have a patchwork heart
And you are tearing it apart

The needle cannot help me now
The final choice must be mine
‘Cause there is nothing we can do
To unwind the fabric of time

Author notes

A song I wrote for a friend who is giving me mixed messages. I like him, but he doesn't like me, though his actions beg to differ. Sound better with the music. lol.
