Broken Dreams Of My Little Heart

I love you more than life itself

But I’m afraid to love.

My heart is like the fragile wings

Of a tiny little dove.

I’m scared to get too close.

I feel that I can’t win.

You’ll love me for a little while

Then you’ll set me free again.

I’ve lived so long on hopes and dreams

I don’t know what to do.

I don’t think I can trust my heart,

For it belongs to you.

I know you’ll only hurt me

Yet, I still keep running back.

Between the paths of our hearts

There’s a worn and beaten track.

You’ve got my heart held on a string.

It’s breaking right in two.

Enough belongs to me -to hurt-

The rest belongs to you.

I know that somewhere in your heart

There is a place for me.

I just don’t know how to find it

And there’s no way to make you see.

I can only hope that someday

You’ll wake up and you’ll find,

That while my heart belongs to yours,

Yours, too, belongs to mine.
