Bleeding Hearts
Jeremy Blanchette

Bleeding hearts will turn to anger
Freed souls will let you see
Listen to the words they're speaking
Listen they will set you free

I walk alone again
Glancing to my side
An empty shadow walks along
This just isn't right

She walks behind me with a smile
Clasped in another's arms
Happy, laughing, euphoria
Fell for transparent charm

The road ahead seems so empty
Hollow shells walk along
The road behind shows a bright past
The road ahead is all wrong

Each laugh of joy sends
Shivers down my spine
I made her happy for a while
I guess I ran out of time

Were we ever really that close
I sit and wonder
Or was it just some cruel joke
Cause now I mean nothing to her

She never looked back
Stopped caring about me
She just took my heart
And destroyed it completely

On the outside looking in
A memory that will fade
A bridge that's not worth building
All relationships decay

Bleeding hearts will turn to anger
People with experience will see
Listen to the voice of wisdom
Meet her, f**k her, then leave
