Sacred Heart
My heart bleeds from the wound you gave
And I'll take this pain to my lonely grave
How savagely you stabbed me with your verbal knife
And left me scarred for the rest of my life
Pictures of you stamped in my head
And thoughts of sleeping in an empty bed
Thinking I'd die if you weren't there
Now it's finished that cross I'll have to bear
I gave you affection and I gave you love
I treated you gently with a velvet glove
But it was all to no avail and I had to cry
When you turned around and said goodbye
I used to be happy and now I'm sad
But deep down inside I'm really mad
Cause you got what you could and took me for a ride
Then when you where bored you cast me aside
I was on the wings of love, flying so high
But now I've been shot out of the sky
You broke the rule when we had to part
Cause when you left you stole my sacred heart
