Every time you hugged me instead of telling me the truth For every kiss you gave me to shut my worries down My heart felt the sword with the strength of your arms If my heart had a skeleton Every time you trusted time effect instead of sharing For every tear that I have shed on my pillow at night My soul excused you with logic and stupidity If my heart had a skeleton Every time you have to look back at the accomplishments For every word that I wish I was the unique recipient My heart lost count of how many time it has fallen If my heart had a skeleton Every time you satisfied and pursued your macho’s ego For every pain it caused, my heart have bled and bleeds My heart broke in thousands of pieces If my heart had a skeleton Every time reason brings me facts and examples For every single one my heart put up the defense with pride My soul knows at least to recognize what’s happiness If my heart had a skeleton My heart fell under the weight of a love too strong for its youngness But, always finds ways to ***get back together and love more than ever My heart swears by this love which chose me and that I chose If my heart had a skeleton How many times has it been broken and felt dead with no hope? How many surgeries and therapies were needed since it is still alive? These are not the questions of a heart in love and which swears by love If my heart had a skeleton The fact is I know LOVE from the tears of joy to the heartaches Glad that my heart even broken and bleeding will heal again With no bones in, the falls just makes it stronger and ready If my heart had a skeleton
