lyrics

You left, without saying a word
I trusted you, and now I’ve been burned
And I’m starting to see, I was a fool to believe in you

Through my troubles, you were all that I had
You were there, through the good and the bad
So how could you just leave, a liar and a thief with my heart

I hope someday when you look back you realise just what you’ve left behind
And you never treat another man the way you treated me.
Like I was someone to be pushed away

Let go of my heart
Give me back the pieces, that you pulled apart
Please let go of my heart
I need it now you’ve left me in the dark
Please let go of my heart
Of my heart

These days, just keep rolling by
Like the rivers running down my cheeks from my eyes
You wanted something more from me, but I wasn’t enough to make you stay

I hope someday when you look back you realise just what you’ve left behind
And you never treat another man the way you treated me
Like I was someone to be pushed away

Let go of my heart
Give me back the pieces, that you pulled apart
Please let go of my heart
I need it now you’ve left me in the dark
Please let go of my heart
Of my heart

Did you ever stop, to think about anyone except yourself
You didn’t
No you didn’t
You just left me standing by myself, a broken wreck, an empty shell
There is just one thing I need from you

Please let go of my heart
Give me back the pieces, that you pulled apart
Let go of my heart
I need it now you’ve left me in the dark
I need it now you’ve left me in the dark
Please let go of my heart
Of my heart
