Literary (Submission): To Save You From Tears
Last Christmas, you gave me your heart
I think that was your heart
Never mind, I'm pretty sure it was
But the point is that the very next day
I didn't give it away
Last Christmas, you gave me your heart
And I held onto it
I kept it close at all times
Never letting it out of my sight
I mean, how could I?
It was a present... all for me
Last Christmas, you gave me your heart
It made me happy
'Cause you made me happy
And it kind of only meant one thing
That I'm your 'someone special'
Last Christmas, you gave me your heart
And I thought, "what a brave thing to do"
"That was very sweet of you"
Looking back now though, and I'm sure even you know
Yours weren't the only heart I received
I treasured your heart
I treasured all the hearts
If I were to be honest though
I was a tad bit more fond of yours
It was the one that never grew tired
I treasured your heart
I knew how much it meant to you
You only had one, so no, I did not set it aside to rot
It was always in my hand
And I gripped it as tightly as I could
I treasured your heart
I gazed at it a lot
Throbbing, beating, sometimes palpitating
It looked lovely, felt great even
And it never failed to make me smile
I treasured your heart
I think it almost died a couple of times though
I can't bring myself to wonder why
But hey, it's still alive, just little roughened up
It'll survive...I think
This year, to save you from tears
I gave you the chance to run away"
God knows you deserved it
But I must really be something
Because once again, you've given your heart to me
