"THE HEART"

He took my heart in his hands
He kissed it and spoke so softly
He ripped the heart and tore it clear of the chest

He looked at it and he cried
He held it in his hands and wrote
His name all over it
He opened my mouth and stuffed it back inside
Meanwhile I sit and swallow my pride

You see, this heart: it is not mine anymore

It is his
He is written all over my heart
And he goes
He kisses me once
He kisses me twice, three times
He leaves and says good-bye.

He is another's
But I am always his
It is written on my heart

I see it all the time
