Hold Not My Troubled Heart Against Me

Hold not my troubled heart against me.

Hold not my troubled heart against me,
For it knows not what it does.
It doesn’t want to get hurt anymore,
It just wants to be loved.

For it has been smashed & ran over
Therefore it isn’t quick to trust.
It’s been told “I love you”,
When in reality it was lust.

My ears have heard too many lies
That the truth has to be drilled in.
I have loved falsely before
This time I don’t want to pretend.

I don’t want to love someone who hurts me,
Or doesn’t match my effort.
I want someone who will get into the ring with me
Someone who will help to make it work.

Hold not my troubled heart against me,
For it knows not what it does.
