To all the girls she loved before
To all the girls she loved before,
Who broke her soul and slammed the door…
Leaving her without wings to fly
lost and hollow inside…
Afraid to give her trust
Afraid even to speak of love…
At your feet do I lay the blame for a love that never was.
Because of all the girls she loved before,
She set a seal upon her heart…
Never to let it beat again.
Her dreams are planted firmly on the ground
Never soaring, nor believing
To any line of love proclaimed
Her inner ear is trained to hear deceit
Even when no such word has been uttered.
All I said was “hello”
And she replied “goodbye”
Because of those who left her behind.
So to all the girls she loved before…
Who stole her kisses and tenderness
On you must lay the blame
For putting out her flame
And leaving her hopeless
Leaving her…without a heart.
