The Whole I Cannot Mend

Let’s not fall in love

I don’t need any more scars

Or another name added

to my list of broken hearts

Let’s not fall in love

For falling from that high

Leaves you gasping for breath

Praying and wishing you could die

Let’s not fall in love

For I always say words that I don’t mean

And they always end up hurting everyone but me

Let’s not fall in love

Because I know who I am

And the truth is I’ll break your heart

Before you even get the chance to

Think about what happens next

For I’m so sorry but I’m protecting this whole inside my chest.
