The Heart of You

The Heart of You

Burnt out on former loves that had all gone wrong.
I tried to find a joy but nothing lasted that long.
So when you showed up, I assumed the same.
Didn't want to be a loser within your little game.
Still, after a while of you never giving up,
Never quitting on me, never saying enough,
I was forced to realize that maybe there's a chance.
Not every person out there walks out on the dance.
Some people stay and guide you through the steps.
I didn't think it would happen for me. Not something I'd expect.
So forgive me for my rudeness, and only being friends.
I was just so tired of heartbreak coming out in the end.
Misled by former users with a diary full of pain
This hand isn't used to writing happy things again.
Cold hearts had hurt me, left me in a world of blue
I would barely be together if not for the heart of you.

    This was so beautiful...my favourite part was the ''diar full of pain.''
    I enjoyed the opening and the first few lines had me hooked.
    I thought the ending was beautifully writen and such a great way to wrap up.

    "Cold hearts had hurt me, left me in a world of blue
    I would barely be together if not for the heart of you."

    I loved those lines. Great job on this one.

    Oooooh! I liked this one a lot. There were a lot of good lines throughout and that is always nice and fresh when just about every two lines and line really stands out. Two of my Favs were, "Not every person out there walks out on the dance." And "Misled by former users with a diary full of pain"...very nice descriptions and visuals. Great job Charisma!
