DEMANDS OF THE HEART
I ASKED TOO MUCH OF MYSELF,
I WAS BURNT OUT,
AND PUT BACK ON THE SHELF.
I GAVE HIM MY ALL 'TIL I HAD NOTHING LEFT,
IF YOU ASK ME HE STOLE MY HEART,
WHAT A PETTY THEFT!
OR SO IT SEEMED AT THE TIME,
HE HAD MY HEART,
WAS IT WORTH THE CRIME?
NOW I AM LEFT EMPTY INSIDE,
THE TRUTH WAS REVEALED,
BUT MY SOUL HAD TO HIDE.
I SUFFERED ENOUGH OF THE HEARTLESS ACTS,
I ONLY KNEW WHAT I FELT,
I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THE FACTS,
THAT ALL THE TIME HE WAS WITH ANOTHER,
WHO WITH KISSES AND HUGS HE DID SMOTHER.
ALL I HAD WAS THE SOULLESS LOOK HE GAVE,
EVEN WITH ALL THAT I WAS HIS ZOMBIE SLAVE,
I WAS NOT WHO I USED TO BE THEN,
I WAS HIS EVERMORE,
RIGHT TO THE END.
AND STILL I LET HIM HAVE MY HEART,
HOPING ONE DAY WE WOULD NEVER PART.
IF I HAD A SHRED OF LIFE LEFT IN MY EYES,
HIS FACE AND HIS LOVE I WOULD DESPISE.
FOR HOW CAN SOMEONE LOVE YOU IF THEY CONSTANTLY
TELL YOU NO,
SORRY IT'S OVER YOU GOT TO GO.
THEN TAKE YOU BACK WHEN THINGS ARE SLOW FOR HIM,
NO OTHER GIRLS TO FALL AT HIS WHIM,
SO THEN THERE IS ME,
FOOL ENOUGH TO BE,
RIGHT THERE WHEN HE NEEDS TO FEEL, WHEN HE NEEDS TO SEE.
ONCE THEY KNOW THEY HAVE YOU FROM THE START,
WATCH OUT GIRLS,
FOR THE DEMANDS OF THE HEART.
