Please don't touch my tainted heart
It's been broken once or twice before
Please don't reach into my soul
Where my secrets lay forevermore
My pain, it echos within my veins
Reverberating steps of memories past
Before me lay shards of a former self
...I knew it was too good to last
My heart, it beats so softly
My tears, they fall with pain
Loving me proves easy to do
But I've nothing you can gain
I'm just a broken puzzle or
A collage of shattered dreams
From my mind into my soul
My essence filled with my dying screams
I've stood amongst the mighty
And I've crawled amongst the small
I've held my breath and waited
Only for my hopes fall
I've slept amidst the dreamers
And I've flown against the wind
But please don't be fooled by what you see
I've nothing more than sinned
So please don't touch my tainted heart
It's nothing to be proud of
Please don't reach into my soul
That's where you'll find my hidden love
