Bruised Hearts

It's happening again
The drop of the stomach
The racing pulse
The stuttering voice

I thought I knew better
I thought I knew better then to fall
But fall I did
So hard my heart's bruised.

I thought after that slap in the face
I would know better then to fall
For a boy with a smile
Who doesn't know I breath

But you caught me
In those eyes
And in that voice
What was I supposed to do?

I don't want to be hurt.
I don't want to be the fool.
But somehow you pull me out
And into those eyes.

I don't think I can stand
Being hurt again
So here's my heart
Please be careful

It's a little bruised.
There's some dents and stitches,
But it's all in one piece
And it's yours.
