"Why Don't You Rip My Heart Out?"

Why don't you rip my heart out?
And tear it into two.
I thought I was afraid--
But then I fell in love with you.

Why don't you rip my heart out?
And tear it into pieces.
I tried to stop the pain--
But it never ceases.

Why don't you rip my heart out?
And tear it apart.
I was a sweet and happy soul--
Until you broke my heart.

Why don't you rip my heart out?
And pull it from my chest.
I used to sleep easy--
Now, I can't even rest.

Why don't you rip my heart out?
And keep it when you're done.
I thought you were being serious--
But you were only having fun.

"I Left My Heart Out On the Floor"

I left my heart out on the floor--
I can't believe I left it there.

I left my heart out on the floor--
And you told me you didn't care.

I left my heart out on the floor--
Now, I can't find it anywhere.

I left my heart out on the floor--
And now it's covered in despair.

I left my heart out on the floor--
And you left it there.

"You Don't Love Me Anymore"

I left my heart out on the floor--
And you stepped on it.

You don't love me anymore--
Now, there's regret on it.

The pain and suffering--
Has neglect on it.

The pills and potions--
Have no effect on it.

Through painful times--
I reflect on it.

But Jesus loves me--
So, I try not to fret on it.

Things always get better--
So, I won't sweat on it.

"Make It, Take It, Fake It, Break It"

I don't think I'm a make it--

My soul just can't take it.

A smile, I can't fake it.

My heart, you can break it.

"Another Heartache (If I Make A Mistake)"

Damn, another heartache to take--
Another moment to break--
Another painful mistake,
In this life that we make.

I didn't know you for long--
I never came off too strong--
I didn't think we belong,
But I'll still sing your song.

It's my heart that breaks--
After the choices, I make--
It's my heart that breaks,
If I make a mistake.

"Holes in My Heart"

I have holes in my heart--
So many empty spots.
It's hard to love them all,
When you're the one they forgot...

It's hard fitting in--
So many different locations.
Every new place,
Seems like a different vocation.

New faces,
New names,
Until time
Erases them all.

Or even worse,
I remember them all.
And time always rushes--
It never stalls.

So many holes in my heart--
And every wound hurts.
She lived a lonely life--
As an endless flirt.

I have holes in my heart--
But that's nothing new.
I couldn't fill it up,
Even if I wanted to.

Trust me, I've tried--
I've even cried.
The pain never ends--
It only subsides.

I have holes in my heart--
Why should I leave it intact?
I'd much rather take it out,
As a matter of fact.

"Keep Your Composure"

Wipe your tears--
Keep your composure.
Don't show weakness--
Indecent exposure.

Harden your heart---
Your weakness is kindness.
Strengthen your soul--
This world will leave you heartless.

Keep your composure--
Don't let them get you down.
Put a fake smile on--
Don't let them see you frown.

Keep your composure--
Don't let them see you cry.
We live in a cruel world--
Remember an eye for an eye?

So, please protect your heart--
On every occasion.
I've lost my heart--
Way too many abrasions.

"Earth Shattering"

My body aches--
So, my heart is breaking.
My smile looks real--
But I'm only faking.
My feet stands still--
But the ground is shaking.

"Here Lies My Heart"

Here lies my heart,
Crumbled up in pieces.
I'm missing you--
And I don't know the reasons.

Here lies my heart,
Whispering give it another try.
But my head keeps telling me--
That it's time to say goodbye.

"Cut Out My Heart"

Cut out my heart and just bleed me dry.
I'm sick of the pain if you want to know why.

Cut out my heart and just let it bleed.
Maybe after that I can start to breathe.

Cut out my heart and bury it in the ground.
'Cause after it's out, I don't want it to be found.

"Behind My Smile (Earth Quakes)"

Behind my smile--
Is a heart that breaks.
Behind my soul--
Is a spirit that aches.
And behind my world--
Is an earth that quakes.

"You Were Beautiful..."

I thought you were beautiful,
And that you cared...
I thought you were beautiful,
Until you left me there...

I thought you were beautiful--
Until you broke my heart.
I thought you were beautiful--
And now we're worlds apart.

So, who will pick up the pieces--
Of my broken heart?
So, who will pull me back together--
Now that I've fallen apart?
