Salt in a Cut

I really tried to do what was right
Like make amends when we'd had a fight

I tried my best to make him smile
But inside he'd been frowning all the while.

I wish I had back what we had at first
That special love that makes your heart burst

With overwhelming feelings of love
The kind that's only sent from above

But now we know it isn't true
We wern't meant to be and now we're through

All I have left are the thoughts in my mind
I think about them daily as I watch my life unwind

He is the one who stole my heart
But he handed it back broken and said we must part

Now he's trying to be a friend
He made the wounds he's trying to mend

But it only feels like salt in a cut
Because now my broken heart's shut

It's locked up tight and lost it's key
And no one could open it, whoever it may be.

Maybe in time it will open once more
But then I'll know a part will always be sore

The part he took will never come back
It's up in his heart pinned up with a tack

And even though guys come and go
I believe I will always love him so
