This Hearts Been Around

this heart’s been around
and it’s been abused
it’s gonna take more than
you’re givin’
to polish it up
make it shiny and new
well i’ve been here before
and i’ve seen the pain
i’ve given too much too fast
it hurts the same
no matter who’s to blame
(chorus)
so if it’s love
that you really wanted from me
it’s gonna take time
for me to believe
‘cuz this heart’s been around
well i know i sound rough
but i seen enough
to know that good intentions
don’t always stay on the path
we choose
oh ain’t it a shame
that a love gone wrong
leaves behind the memories
it makes it hard
to find love again
(repeat chorus twice)

we’ve known each other
a very short time
it’s gonna take a while
to change this heart of mine
‘cuz this heart’s been around
and it’s been abused
it’s gonna take more than
you’re givin’
to polish it up
make it shiny and new
well i know i sound rough
but i seen enough
to know that good intentions
don’t always stay on the path
we choose
