Heart in Chains

I met you at school

But was too shy to talk to you

So I sent a friend

To say the words I couldn't do

Soon we spent every day together

You had a girlfriend

But that didn't matter

After a few weeks your guilt kicked in

So you tried to set me up

With your best friend

To spare me the pain within

But I only wanted to be with you

So there was a lot of pain

I went through

Sometimes they like me, say they'll stay

But then they see too much

And walk away

I'm what becomes of love

That burns too bright

Too much, too little, never right

No one taught me how to let it go

So I hold on tight and never grow

But if you can't unlove, you stay in pain

And all that's left is a heart in chains

I met you at work

And was blown away from the start

You were exactly my type

And I gave you my heart

You treated me how I always wished for

Gave me comfy clothes as soon

As I walked through your door

You turned on the heating

Just because I was cold

Held me close

As the night began to unfold

I wanted all of you too fast

And scared you instead

So you walked away

While my heart quietly bled

Sometimes they like me, say they'll stay

But then they see too much

And walk away

I'm what becomes of love

That burns too bright

Too much, too little, never right

No one taught me how to let it go

So I hold on tight and never grow

But if you can't unlove, you stay in pain

And all that's left is a heart in chains

I met you at a party

You seemed very nice

But after a few days

You gave me advice:

"Don't fall in love with me.", you said

But I still fell, heart first

Not thinking ahead

It didn't last long because you

Didn't really want to commit

So as I heard you married the girl after me

That really hit

I'm glad you found the love

I apparently couldn't give

But it stings to see how easy

It was for you to live

Sometimes they like me, say they'll stay

But then they see too much

And walk away

I'm what becomes of love

That burns too bright

Too much, too little, never right

No one taught me how to let it go

So I hold on tight and never grow

But if you can't unlove, you stay in pain

And all that's left is a heart in chains
