You Had My Heart


I was around all these guys, full of themselves.
It was my own, personal hell.
I didn't know what to do
Until I confided in you
I would go my own way
Until the end of the day
So I could meet you
Then my smile was true.
So when I began to fall
I knew I was risking it all
By what I was going to say
Then you said okay.
We were together over a year
Giving me happy tears.
Then I knew something was wrong
That feeling didn't belong.
So I decided to make it right
And thought on it a few nights
At first, I almost said it was the end,
But couldn't press send.
I didn't really know
How to let go
So when my phone rang
My heart sang
Until I heard what you had to say
The words ringing the rest of the day
It had been years
Since I cried that many tears
You had my heart
And broke it apart
Flashbacks came day and night
I couldn't ignore them, try as I might
Hot, salty tears burned my cheeks
But I got throught the weeks.
Now I'm getting through
Though I still miss you
I'll be okay
A little more each day
I used to care 'bout you
And I still do.
