Leaky Hearts

I'm finished with you
You make me turn to goo
This is all too much
I need a hand to clutch
I need some time apart
To fix my leaky heart

24hours may be enough
But let's face it I'm not that tough
My life right now seems rough
But I'm used to that stuff

I can tell you don't get it
And I can tell you don't care
But I need you, don't forget it
This doesn't seem very fair

Most songs are about love
Now can I see why
Love makes you want to give up
U it makes you want to cry
Love is a trap made for everyone
Believe this is no lie

If your heart is leaking
Know you're not alone
Many people's hearts are too
Much like my very own
