To many times I’ve been hurt, br To many times I’ve been blamed, br To many times my heart has been shattered, br Into so many pieces that I’m afraid, br When I opened my heart br And let you come in br You tore the fragments to useless shreds br And I’m scared that for it ever mend br And be strong enough to hold back together again, br I'll need a love full of unbreakable threads br But even then, br I’ll never be able to place the jagged shards back together right, br And the pieces will crumble into so many parts br That it’ll be like ashes br Left from a fire br That’ll never go out.
