Lonely Nights

She loved hard, fell harder
Each time plummeted farther
Feared hitting rock bottom
So she made her heart armor
She wore her heart upon her sleeve
Now it’s battered and bruised
She just wanted to believe
That somebody would choose
Not to leave
Not to use
In all her naivete
She thought it wouldn’t be abused
On the lonely nights
She caved in, broke but quietly
Let her heart harden into stone
She laid her arms (?) and decided
It’s easier to be alone
She wore her heart upon her sleeve
Now it’s battered and bruised
She just wanted to believe
That somebody would choose
Not to leave
Not to use
In all her naivete
She thought it wouldn’t be abused
On the lonely nights
She wore her heart upon her sleeve
Now it’s battered and bruised
She just wanted to believe
That somebody would choose
Not to leave
Not to use
In all her naivete
She thought it wouldn’t be abused
On the lonely nights
