Songs I Wrote

Blueprints of a Broken Heart

I've been so scared you'll only break my heart,

So here are the tools you'll need for the part

First you'll need a hammer to break the outer shell

I'll grit my teeth and act like it doesn't hurt like hell

A few hard hits is all that it will take

Hear that?

The sound of crack, a heartbreak

I know you said that you would never do this,

But just in case, I drew you up some blueprints

If you're going to break my heart, like my mind says

You might as well start it knowing what you're doing,

Even though you say you don't want to, I know that you can,

So what's the harm in giving you a backup plan?

The second is a screwdriver for the metal part below

It's not like this hasn't happened to my heart before

My armor plating's so easy to slip past

That's why I get my heart broke so fast

It shouldn't take much longer,

I don't wanna waste your time

As you hollow out what once was mine

The third is the sound of your voice to destroy the core

The sound of you saying you don't love me anymore

My heart can be broken with such bitter ease

And I know you could do it if you ever pleased

You say you won't leave and I'll never be alone,

But I wanna be prepared if you decide to go

I'll pick up my own pieces

You do not need to see this

I'll pick up my own pieces

You do not need to see this

I'll pick up my own pieces

You do not need to see this

Make the mess, then leave quickly

I'm used to it, so don't feel guilty

I sputter and spark, a broken machine

Don't worry yourself to intervene

Everyone else has left, so why wouldn't you?

With that, my heart is gone and there's nothing to do

I lay there like a husk 'cause now I'm gone too

Not ready for a relationship, you said once

But you're already taken after a month
