You Took My Heart Lightly - ArlenaZara
I handed you my heart with shaking hands
Like it was something sacred something real
I never knew you'd hold it so carelessly
Like it was nothing you could feel
I trusted every word you whispered
Every promise in the dark
I thought love meant falling safely
Not breaking piece by part
I made excuses for your distance
Called your silence being strong
But love shouldn't feel this lonely
When nothing's really wrong
You took my heart lightly
Like it couldn't bleed
You held it for a moment
Then dropped it at your feet
I loved you like it mattered
You loved me when it was easy
You took my heart lightly
But it was heavy to me
I stayed quiet when I was hurting
So you wouldn't feel the weight
I carried all the cracks inside
While you walked away unscarred unshaken
I gave you all my softness
You gave me reasons why
I should have protected what was mine
Instead of watching it die
I tried to be less emotional
Tried to need you less each day
But love doesn't ask you to be smaller
Just so someone else can stay
You took my heart lightly
Like it wasn't alive
You didn't see the damage
Every time you said goodbye
I loved you without armor
You loved me without care
You took my heart lightly
And left it there
Maybe love scared you
Maybe I was too deep
But you don't play with something fragile
And call it being free
I was faithful to your maybe
You were faithful to your doubt
I stayed when you stopped choosing me
That's what love was about
You took my heart lightly
But I felt every fall
I'm learning how to hold it gently
Not give it all away at all
I still miss who we were
But I'm stronger than before
You took my heart lightly
I won't let you anymore
I loved you carefully
You didn't love me at all
