A Thousand Hearts

A THOUSAND HEARTS

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

2018

WE SAT ON MY PORCH

TALKED ABOUT SO MANY THINGS

LOOKED INTO HER EYES

BLUE LIKE SUNNY SKIES

I'D BE LYING IF I SAID

I NEVER FELL IN LOVE WITH HER

JUST LIKE HEAVEN WHEN SHE WAS NEAR

FIRST TIME I KISSED HER

I KNEW IT WAS CLEAR

A SMILE THAT COULD

MAKE OR BREAK A THOUSAND HEARTS

SHE STARTED WITH MINE

I THOUGHT THAT WAS GOOD

IT WAS FINE

LIKE A LIGHT SHE WAS LOVE

SHOWED ME WHAT SHE WAS MADE OF

I COULDN'T FAULT HER FOR A THING

SHE WAS THE ONLY SWEET DREAM I HAD

I COULD NOT LOOK AWAY

WE LOVED EACH OTHER IN EVERY WAY

THEN ONE DAY WHILE LIFE

WAS PASSING BY

I STEPPED BACK TO LOOK AROUND ME

I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAME OVER ME

 I PUSHED HER AWAY

I KNEW IT WASN'T RIGHT

WHO ELSE COULD

 EVER HOLD ME THAT TIGHT

CAN'T SAY I BLAME HER

SHE NEVER WASTED TIME

SHE MOVED TO THE NEXT ONE IN LINE

WITH A SMILE THAT COULD

MAKE OR BREAK A THOUSAND HEARTS

I WAS THE FIRST

THAT'S HOW IT STARTS

THE HEARTACHE THAT WAS LEFT BEHIND

WAS MOSTLY ALL MINE

GOT WHAT I ASKED FOR

HAD IT COMING TO ME

NOTHING QUITE LIKE BREAKING

YOUR OWN HEART

I ONLY SAW HER ONCE AGAIN

AND I NOTICED ALL THOSE FEELINGS

STILL THERE BETWEEN US

I HELD HER IN MY ARMS

JUST ONCE MORE I FELT HER CHARM

BUT TIME AND LIFE HAD ALREADY

SHIFTED AWAY FROM WHAT

 WE WERE MEANT TO BE

 I REMEMBER THAT LAST KISS

LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY

SHE FADED INTO THE NIGHT

I KNEW IT WASN'T RIGHT

TO EVER LET HER GO

SHE WAS THE ONLY SWEET DREAM I HAD

WHAT DID I DO, I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT

I MUST OF LOST MY HEAD

LOST MY HEART, LOST MY LOVE

LEFT HER BEHIND ME

LIKE A LIGHT SHE WAS LOVE

BUT I'M NEVER GONNA SEE IT

SHINE AGAIN, SHE'S GONE
