Dear Little Heart

Dear little heart, I saw someone today
Someone you used to know back in the day
Dear little heart, he said he still loves you
And that you promised you love him too.

He asked how you were; I told him you're fine
We kept talking as we stood waiting in line
I was just about to go home, you see,
He seemed surprised as I was when he saw me.

Dear little heart, he asked me for another chance
I felt you falter as he looked at me in askance
He was disappointed, little heart, did you see his face?
The face that left you crying and crying for days?

But dear little heart I know your side of the story,
All the things he did, and he never said sorry.
I know all the lies he said, the promises he made
About how his love for you will never fade.

Dear little heart, I noticed you were trembling,
And you took a deep breath to keep yourself from crying.
You squared your shoulders and said you were strong,
You thought he was the one, but you were so wrong.

Dear little heart, haven't I told you before?
"Let it go, he won't last", but you trusted him more.
And when he left, dear heart, who stayed by your side?
Wasn't it me, little heart, with whom you cried?

Dear little heart, I'll tell you all over again.
Don't make the same mistake that cost you this pain.
You've been torn little heart, now that you're finally mended,
Don't let him start the pain you've just ended.

Dear little heart, I saw someone today
Someone I used to know back in the day.
He's making the promises he made last time,
He's telling me again, "I want you to be mine."

But I've learned my mistake, though I wanted to try,
So I left him these words as I waved him goodbye,
"You've had me before, but you broke me apart,
Now you can never ever have my dear little heart."
