I Threw My Heart Away

I threw my heart away At the age of seventeen Within a month you broke it And I fell down at the scene I gave it back to you A choice I now regret Because I allowed you to fill my life And it's become my biggest regret Because I threw my heart away on someone not worthy Threw it for the cheap thrill of a peaceful sleep I may as well have swallowed it whole Into the depths of a slumber deep Im so angry at the fact by the age twenty You upped and walked out my life Id given up who I was for you And you cut me open with a rusted knife And from twenty to twenty one I stumbled in a lost haze Into the arms of three willing men Was how I occupied my days By twenty two I loved anew Found one so perfect and divine I love him with every part of me And am safe in knowing that he is mine But you son of a bitch you wrecked it When I threw my heart that one winters day Because you took all the firsts he should have had To my absolute bitter dismay So I threw my heart away in stupidity Because I was young and unaware That love, it doesn't just disappear It cannot vanish into thin air Instead its prone to wake you In the stillness of the night A love that was lost so long ago Appears like a ghost to give you a fright And you bury it all, the memories You let yourself love with a brand new name But deep down any heart thats been tossed to the gutter It cannot love the same Because that excitement and hope That you have before you hurt Is gone the second time you fall in love It lies below the trash amongst the dirt.
