Heart Of Hearts

In my heart of hearts
My loving you has waned
It seems my only passions
are the ones that bring you pain

In my heart of hearts
I never meant to strain
All your choices and ideals,
for I know how it feels
to be left out in the rain

It keeps spraying drops,
and like lollypops
We try to get down to the middle
The first one there seems to have the most care
while the other plays second fiddle

But that second fiddle is an integral part
for the structure of the whole
If there'd be no fiddle, we'd have no middle
and we'd melt like heated snow

The rain, it ceased,
for a day at least
and the happiness ensued
The caring that I lacked
now has your back
while I solemnly pay my dues

You know I said, "I do"
and I meant it, too
I just forgot how to care
I owe a whole lot to the one I've got
and I'm glad you're still standing there

In my heart of hearts
My loving you had waned
It seemed my only passions
were the ones that brought you pain

In my heart of hearts
I never meant to strain
All your choices and ideals,
for I know how it feels
to be left out in the rain
