Based on your smile,

I’m betting all of this

Might be over soon.

But you’re bound to win,

‘Cause if I’m betting against you,

I think I’d rather lose.

But this is all that I have.

So please,

Take what’s left of this heart and use,

Please use only what you really need.

You know I only have so little, so please,

Mend your broken heart and leave.

I know it’s not your style

And I can tell by the way that you move

It’s real, real soon.

But I’m on your side

And I don’t want to be your regret.

I’d rather be your cocoon.

But this is all that you have.

So please,

Let me take what’s left of your heart and I will use,

I swear I’ll use only what I need.

I know you only have so little,

So please,

Let me mend my broken heart and...

You said this was all you have and it’s all I need,

But blah, blah, blah, because it fell apart and

I guess it’s all you knew, and all I had.

But now we have only confused hearts,

And I guess all we have is really all we need.

So please,

Let’s take these broken hearts and use,

Let’s use only what we really need.

You know we only have so little

So, please,

Take these broken hearts and leave.
