Heartless Strings
You've taken my heart by it's string
And let it float away like a balloon.
It soared from you until it got
Exhausted and burst. You let it go
And now it's gone, but you don't care
Cuz you have another balloon to play
With. You're never happy with the one
You have so you will always let it go
And have new balloons and leave a
Trail of heartless strings behind.
And all the while, you are heartless...
With no strings attatched.
