Three Hearts Ballad


"Little me,

Listen up

Your heart doesn't need to be in three

You're better than that.

 

There may be something about the boy

That draws you in

Maybe it's the smile, or eyes

Either way, you feel stuck on him like a pin.

 

Crazy in love

Is how you'll be.

As for him,

At night his monsters are set free.

 

Once to monsters are revealed

To you,

What do you do?

How do you feel?

 

You feel as if you're not good enough.

Listen to me my little bird,

You're worth every bit of everything.

Your heart shouldn't be in thirds.

 

Don't cry

Choose your battles and salute

Say bye bye bye

To him."
