My Heart Used to Beat For You

My heart used to beat for you, you know

The way that yours never do

For my heart used to beat with an abundance of excitement

When I seen or even thought of you

 

My heart used to beat for you, you know

With anticipation and also dread

My world would go in a short of disarray

When you threatened not to be there

 

My heart used to beat for you

You said this was the feeling of love

But now as I dwell in my dwelling

I’m not too fond of love

 

Boom, Boom, Boom, Pat, Pat, Pat

That clamor bothered me the most

Yet you sat there calmly

And said I was doing the most

 

My heart used to beat for you

You knew this very well

Made me believe this was love

When it was actually hell

 

Changed my whole perspective

Of what I thought love was and what it should be

Changed my outlook on my love life

Inside you changed me

 

My heart used to beat for you

But I decided to let that die

Throw away that concept of fictitious love

Let the hurt in my heart die

 

And in that very moment

When I thought I was about to take my last breath

I realized I could go on without you

And I had so much of my life left

 

Gone are the doubts and worries I had about love

Gone are the negativities that I once knew

Gone was the old heart that trembled in fear

Gone was that beat for you

 

My heart used to beat for you, you know

This is sadly true

But now it beats for me again

For love has been renewed
