lyrics

THE HEART I USED TO HAVE

There's a black pit of sorrow
Where my heart used to be
But otherwise I'm doing okay
I've been through the worst
This pain is not the first
But the hurt will last for infinite days

I'm a far cry from happy
Since depression set in
Can't remember when it started or how
It's a cycle of pain
And my life is pure disdain
But it won't get the best of me now

I should have learned from my mistakes
But I didn't
And my heart became a black pit of sorrow
I can't pretend it doesn't hurt
'Cause it's showing
But I know it can't be worse than tomorrow

There's a black pit of sorrow
Where my heart used to be
I've been dead inside since you went away
But don't you feel bad
The heart I used to have
Had been dying before we met that day

That special day I saw your face
For the first time
Now you're gone
But I won't let that destroy me
Who says you need a heart to live?
Mine was dying
Now it's dead
I'm as alive as I can be

The heart I used to have had been dying
I won't give you the pleasure of thinking
That you're the only reason
That my heart didn't last

You're one of many girls who have hurt me
I always knew one day you'd desert me
I'm dead inside
But otherwise I'm having a blast

There's a fast car that I drive
When I'm feeling depressed
Which pretty much means every day
I drive recklessly
With fearless apathy
I've been dead inside since you went away

That doesn't mean that you're the cause
You're a factor
In a complicated plot to destroy me
I lost the heart I used to have
It was dying when I met you
Now it's dead like it should be

The heart I used to have
