Can't Rush A Broken Heart

~By Amanda Sielu Paris


It was a year ago today
You moved on it seemed in one day
I'm still picking up the pieces
Trying to put myself back together
Maybe I should over you by now
Found someone new
Boy, you left me for dead
And that's gonna take some time

'Cause you can't count down the days
To when you'll feel better inside
there's no way to get there faster
So I'll take my time
Take it slow
'Cause you can't rush a broken heart

I thought we had it all
It couldn't be all pretend
You had to feel the same
At some point along the way
When that left you for good
I'll never know
'Cause I can barely get through the day

I still hurt so much inside
Feel so betrayed and used inside
You still claimed you loved me
But that could have been a lie too
I can only trust this hurt
It's all I got
And 'til it packs up and leaves

'Cause you can't count down the days
To when you feel better inside
There's no way to get there faster
So I'll take my time
Take it slow
'Cause you can't rush a broken heart

Call me what you want
I've got to take it slow
After all we had
How you made me feel
I can't go fast
I'm still crawling from the gaping hole you threw me inside
I'll get there in time
'Cause you can't rush a broken heart
