lyrics

I’ll dispense with the chocolate and roses
And speak to you now in a way I know how
With a melody and some words

I could tell you how much I adore you
Or leave you question my best of intentions
By keeping my mouth shut

But I know you’re not nearly as cruel
As the words that you say and the things that you do
May lead one to believe
But it’s true that you’ve stolen the only heart I’ve got
The only heart I’ve got

I’m not looking for someone to hold me
Or speak about me in hyperbole
Like I’ve set a standard

I’m not asking for passion and romance
The only request I hold in my chest
Is that you care if I exist

But I know you’re not nearly as cruel
As the words that you say and the things that you do
May lead one to believe
But it’s true that you’ve stolen the only heart I’ve got
The only heart I’ve got

So don’t tell me you’ll love me forever
‘Cause I don’t see us living that long
But you’d think that by now I’d know better
Than to keep all these words from spilling right out of my mouth
No, this ain’t a promise
I just want you to know how I feel about this
Yes it’s crazy and twisted and I should give up

But I know you’re not nearly as cruel
As the words that you say and the things that you do
May lead one to believe
But it’s true that you’ve stolen my only heart
But I know you’re not nearly as cruel
As the words that you say and the things that you do
May lead one to believe
But it’s true that you’ve stolen
The only heart I’ve got
The only heart I’ve got
The only heart I’ve got
The only heart I’ve got

[Alto:] The only heart I’ve got
[Bass:] Speak to me, please
[Soprano:] The only heart I’ve got
