My Heart Belongs To Another

Your heart belongs to another
is the story of my life
Or maybe its that you just didn't notice me
Perhaps this awkward friendship is better
There are no more strained silences
We're on our way back to normal

"His heart belongs to another"
words mighty enough to derail one more
disillusioned crush
we survey the "crush" scene
and pick up the pieces of a broken heart
Sweep away the tears, wash your sorrow in
Chunky-Monkey

My heart belongs to another
followed by the words,
"Its not you, its me"
deliver a foundation-shattering blow
causing yet one more name and heart
to be added to the rejection list
A list that is reviewed from time to time,
causing strength that came from lessons learned
to be remembered

Her heart belongs to another
and is not easily attained
Although attraction may seem like the key
the lock is deeper within
He's taught her to guard her heart
against ones who would break it without a care

Their hearts belong to each other
the waiting is over for them
With the love they found in one another,
they know every heart break was preparing them
so the love shared would be able to fill
all the broken spaces
