Heart For Sale
<p>I've got a heart for sale,</p><p>still bleeding on the floor,</p><p>tired of learning how to break</p><p>each time I attempt to feel more.</p><p><br/></p><p>Take it. I really mean it.</p><p>If numbness is the price,</p><p>let someone else hold it,</p><p>let another person pay twice.</p><p><br/></p><p>I don't want this burning in my chest</p><p>each time there are difficulties.</p><p>I don't want to drown in my own tears,</p><p>I don't want to feel this intensely.</p><p><br/></p><p>I have loved too intensely,</p><p>I have made too much noise.</p><p>And I'm so tired of crying</p><p>at the heart of a crowd.</p><p><br/></p><p>So here's my offer, final—</p><p>no refunds, no return.</p><p>Take this heart that loves too hard.</p><p>If that's the price, then I'll never burn.</p><p><br/></p><p>Take it and let me be empty,</p><p>let me be stone. Let me be free.</p><p>If not feeling ever again</p><p>is what it costs to finally breathe—</p><p><br/></p><p>Take it.</p><p>Please, just take it.</p><p><br/></p><p>I have a heart for sale,</p><p>still bleeding on my floor,</p><p>tired of beating so loud</p><p>for those people who never turned around.</p><p><br/></p><p>It loves too intensely, it hurts too loud,</p><p>every time things go wrong, it burns in my chest.</p><p>It remembers every goodbye like a funeral.</p><p>I'm fed up with sinking in my own tears.</p><p><br/></p><p>So take it.</p><p>Then let me take the numbness as my price.</p><p>Let me be empty, let me be stone,</p><p>if it means I never have to fall in love</p><p>or have to experience it once more.</p><p><br/></p><p>Let it be the end.</p><p><br/></p>
