Lies with best intentions hurt the most when they’re revealed
Three little words once uttered can cause wounds that go unhealed
And when they are exposed it feels as if the whole world ceases
As images of true love shatter in a million pieces
So often we are left with broken hearts and shards of glass
That we attempt to piece together watching the world pass
But memories are sometimes much too sharp to use again
And we must sweep them up and forget places we have been
We give warnings that we’re fragile, you must handle us with care
We tell lovers of the people who had left us cold and bare
But sometimes no matter how we try to keep ourselves from breaking
We forget to keep our guard up and expose ourselves for taking
We ask ourselves how come we never hear our conscience calling
But deep down we already know
While broken hearts may come and go
There someday may be someone who will catch us while were falling

Kevin,

This is fantastic, not only in its form but also
in its message.

Bravo
