heart intact

A song inspired by my new Martin 0-18
i lost something today
i turned as you walked away
i can't believe you'd stay
i let something go today
the day came and it stayed
it passed with a heart intact
beating and breathing and aching and healing
Pluto saw that we wouldn't last
before you go and leave and say
it was me I was crazy let's get one thing straight
it was you who left me alone that day
remember the way you'd say my name?
i lost something today
i turned as you walked away
i can't believe you'd stay
i let something go today
i was wrong all along my heart stirs at dawn
my misery rises with the sun
it is true I love you I couldn't face the pain
i let you go in a cowardly way
time heals wounds so they say
if you asked me I'd say it just scabs scars and flakes
you see there's a way to explain it away
people die and their memory stays
