A friend of mine has a tatto that depicts a woman kneeling, clinging to a heart....not sure the story behind the art....but this came in my head
She says "Love won't last."
I guess she knows no different.
She's been so burned in the past.
So she stays isolated.
Won't let love even start.
Been so long since she's dated.
She sits and hugs her own heart.
She's been in love before and it's torn her apart.
Never worked out right, now she's afraid to start.
So now she lives alone, but I don't think that's too smart.
She kneels down on the floor and just clings to her heart.
She was dumped by her first lover.
He left without goodbye.
Her second would hit and shove her.
He was such a troubled guy.
Then she thought she found true love.
It was magic from the start.
He disappeared with a new love.
Left her with a shattered heart.
She's been in love before and it's torn her apart.
Never worked out right, now she's afraid to start.
So now she lives alone, but I don't think that's too smart.
She kneels down on the floor and just clings to her heart.
She is remarkably pretty.
Her soul is kind and pure.
And it sure is a pity.
She thinks love can't endure.
I wish I could convince her
Of the love in my heart.
She just turns a cold shoulder
Won't let love even start.
She's been in love before and it's torn her apart.
Never worked out right, now she's afraid to start.
So now she lives alone, but I don't think that's too smart.
She kneels down on the floor and just clings to her heart.

She Clings to Her Heart
She's so afraid of commitment.She says "Love won't last."
I guess she knows no different.
She's been so burned in the past.
So she stays isolated.
Won't let love even start.
Been so long since she's dated.
She sits and hugs her own heart.
She's been in love before and it's torn her apart.
Never worked out right, now she's afraid to start.
So now she lives alone, but I don't think that's too smart.
She kneels down on the floor and just clings to her heart.
She was dumped by her first lover.
He left without goodbye.
Her second would hit and shove her.
He was such a troubled guy.
Then she thought she found true love.
It was magic from the start.
He disappeared with a new love.
Left her with a shattered heart.
She's been in love before and it's torn her apart.
Never worked out right, now she's afraid to start.
So now she lives alone, but I don't think that's too smart.
She kneels down on the floor and just clings to her heart.
She is remarkably pretty.
Her soul is kind and pure.
And it sure is a pity.
She thinks love can't endure.
I wish I could convince her
Of the love in my heart.
She just turns a cold shoulder
Won't let love even start.
She's been in love before and it's torn her apart.
Never worked out right, now she's afraid to start.
So now she lives alone, but I don't think that's too smart.
She kneels down on the floor and just clings to her heart.
