Twisted, confused, binded by the love of two men i adore.

Once a time, I was lost and scared 

Once a time, he was always there 

The day I saw that smile 

was the wonders of a never ending love 

A love for me, stronger then thought it could be 

Months past by, only to see 

that your love wasn't for me 

Days and nights came by 

with a silent tear in my eye 

Because I wanted it true 

I wanted it to be you 

But your love for me fell through. 

I let you carry my 

heart in your hands 

Hands that were once so secure 

I gave you all of what was within 

Including the smiles and the sins 

But you couldn't hold on to my heart any longer 

And dropped it on the ground with only anger 

Shattered was my heart, 

as the shattered glass lay 

Bits and pieces everywhere 

Nothing left to fend to a new love 

Now it was only blood. 

At last I thought i found someone new 

A loving that was too good to be true 

I tried and tried to give him my heart 

once filled with happiness and sins 

I told him I loved him, let him think it was true 

Then too late I've realized 

My heart was still a wound. 

How selfish and unfair I was 

To give him a second hand heart 

When his heart of love 

i carried in my hand 

that shined with beauty with no command 

I wanted to take it all back 

I wanted him to be free from my harmful ways that I was ignorent to
ignore 

But there is nothing i can do 

It's too late, I lost my grip 

and let his heart crash to the floor. 

All I wanted to say was I love you 

but that I could never do 

After the way I've treated you. 

I have learned my lesson now all too late. 

Never again will I give out a second hand heart 

Never again shall I command love's fate.
