The Breaking of My Already Broken Heart

My heart beats slowly
It beats to its own tune
It beats not caring
Not caring what others do

But then I met you
And different was not accepted
It changed
Everything changed

My heart did not beat to its own tune
Not any more
It beat with the others

All together
All the same
Bum bum bum bum

Just so I could be accepted
Just to be loved
My heart changed

Changed from what I wanted to be
To be something that someone else wanted
To be something
Something that is not me

It would have been OK
If you had loved me too
But you did not
You used me

So my heart broke
It stopped beating the tune
Stopped beating to your melody
My heart was broken
Cracked down the middle

Just because I thought you were something
Something that deserved my time
That cared about me
That liked me for what I was

I thought you were the one
The one who had the different beat too
You were not

Look where loving has gotten me now
Look at all the heart break
Instead of beating to its own beat my heart broke
There was no heart left to beat

It was no more
My heart has been broken
It has no beat
My heart is dead
