A Custom Made Heart



Let's walk away and ride a pretty cloud
Come with me, hold my hand if you will
Your heart beating furiously, thumping loud
I sense your anxiety mixed with thrill
Don't keep looking down, please lift up your head
Look into my eyes, read what can't be said
Come sit for a while and look at these shreds I'm holding in my hand
Would you take these pieces and try turning them into something grand?
It's probably a bad deal for you, I agree and I know
Exchanging a whole heart, for something most would choose to throw
But if you can look at it this way, it might seem to be worthwhile
These shreds are all yours to shape any way that makes you smile
There would always be a limit to how much any heart for you will bend
No restrictions with this broken one, feel free to do as you intend
So, if you decide to give this love a start
You would be getting a Custom Made Heart
