I know you’ll break my heart
I know you’ll break my heart
You have already
Before you knew how I felt
We were friends for a time
A short while
A tiny ripple in time
Back then
I was so broken and empty
I needed someone
Anyone
You were cruel
And unkind
Tossing me away
Letting me fall deeper into despair
Years later
When I made something of myself
When I had learnt
And had finally found some self worth
Suddenly I was worth your time
You took an interest
But you didn’t care about me
Before
When I needed it the most
So forgive me for not diving in head first
Because you had broken every bone in my body
Before “I love you,” had ever left our lips
You have already
Before you knew how I felt
We were friends for a time
A short while
A tiny ripple in time
Back then
I was so broken and empty
I needed someone
Anyone
You were cruel
And unkind
Tossing me away
Letting me fall deeper into despair
Years later
When I made something of myself
When I had learnt
And had finally found some self worth
Suddenly I was worth your time
You took an interest
But you didn’t care about me
Before
When I needed it the most
So forgive me for not diving in head first
Because you had broken every bone in my body
Before “I love you,” had ever left our lips
