Stitches and Twine



I was born with a broken heart though it's all whole now it was once torn apart
They put me back together and mended me up just fine
With stitches and Staples and a little bit of twine

My heart is big and I wear it on my sleeve
I care to much I dream and I believe
I try to hard to help others in need ill care for you cry for you and sometines even bleed

My heart is my weakness my scars run deep it's the price I pay and it's never cheap
For every soul that I help bring peace
It either lifts me up or it pulls be Beneath

I have highs and I have my lows I have many allies and I have many foes
I have many battles some I lose some I win
With the stitches and twine they will sew me up again
