I used to follow my heart

I used to follow my heart

But now it’s the last thing I trust

Relationships scare me

Because when they end

It can really hurt

I used to follow my heart

When loving him meant everything

I haven’t forgotten him

Though by now I should

He left with my heart a long time ago

And now someone else is willing to try

Someone else wants to take my heart again

But they don’t know

Beneath the smile

My heart stopped beating a long time ago

I used to follow my heart

Because before there was nothing to lose

I sometimes wonder

When he lay in his bed

With my heart tucked under his sleeve

Does he know what he did to me?

I have a whole lot of love with me

I take it to bed with me at night

But when someone tells me they want to love me

I am incapable of loving them

Because I know longer follow my heart

I used to follow my heart

But he left with it

When he left me
