The Only Heart I've Broken Is My Own
© 2013 Kristie Cunningham

I can see in your eyes it's been a long, long time since you trusted, but you can trust me
It's my curse to be guileless, no games, no poker face, and what you get is simply what you see

What I'm offering is is honest and it's real
All I ask is you treat me with care
'Cause my heart, well it's as fragile as yours and the truth is, I don't have a spare

There's no lock on the shelter of my arms
You just might, finally, be home
You don't have to be afraid
because I said "I love you"
The only heart I've broken is my own.

I know you remember a time less wary,
a heart less guarded and more free
I'm waiting on you, but I won't wait forever, so tell me babe, what'll it be?

Aren't you tired of being the cynic? The clown?
Aren't you tired of being lonely and let down?

You can bet on me. Bet on me.

There's no lock on the shelter of my arms
You just might, finally, be home
You don't have to be afraid
because I said "I love you"
The only heart I've broken is my own.
