Heart to Break

Have I hurt you again?
Have I made your hopes rise
Just to let them carelessly fall
Broken with tears in your eyes

It's not a vicious cycle
It's not a pattern
It's when you believe another's words
And let your heart become vulnerable
As the seasons purr and spin

Maybe you have your reasons
The butterflies continue turning
Maybe you knew from the start
Leaving my mind restlessly churning

It's so easy for you
To leave my heart behind yearning
As the flames still blaze
Alive, hopelessly burning

I can no longer see you
Through the haze and ashes
You left in my wake

Through the promises and tears
That have left my dreams cold

And, my bleeding heart to break
