If I had a free spirit
You would probably appreciate it
That day we bonded like chemical brothers
I was gonna be a pop star
You wrote it on your wall
Little did I know
Didn’t know
There’s a piece of my heart for you
There’s a piece of my heart for you
The pain isn’t nothin’ new, I’ve felt it
There’s a piece of my heart for you
There’s a piece of my heart for you
I broke it in two for you
You can have it
Don’t call me a friend, yeah-hey
Don’t call me a friend, yeah
Don’t call me a friend, ah-yeah
You know it’s more than that
It’s more than that
I’m still figurin’ out
How you tryna come across
I don’t got time for that
Ah, now you wanna break somethin’
Break my heart
Break my heart
And I know, as I saw
That’s how this goes, ain’t it?
Ain’t it kinda fucked up?
I… get it
When I think about it
When I think about it
When I, when I, when I
[?]
Ah, now you wanna break somethin’
Break my heart
Break my heart
(Ah nah, yeah yeah
Aw yeah)
So I gave him an ultimatum and
I said, “I can’t just keep living
And moving with you all over the United States
Without a commitment, there’s no certainty”
You know? I have a future and I wanted have children
And that was important to me, so… we got married!
Not sure, I think I would’ve waited to find…
I probably would’ve held out longer to get married
‘Cause I… I just… I don’t know
You never really know for sure, but
I had serious doubts when I got married
And I, I should’ve listened to my heart more
‘Cause when you’re young you’re idealistic
And you think your love is gonna change a person
But it really doesn’t, they are who they are
They can like, make slight modifications, but
They basically are who they are and who you see
And who you feel that they are
So be cautious when you’re searching
And don’t just give your love away
