Hearts on display
[Verse 1]
Saw you in September, right there in my class
You smiled and I knew that the feeling would last
I told all my journals, but I kept it inside
’Cause loving you felt like a dream I could hide
⸻
[Verse 2]
Then she came in later, and we both got real close
She laughed at my stories and borrowed my notes
I thought she was perfect, the way best friends are
So I trusted her gently with the beat of my heart
⸻
[Verse 3]
It was after the new year, sometime in Jan
I told her your name and I told her the plan
She smiled so sweetly and promised me hope
But behind all her giggles was a tangled-up rope
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I saw you two laughing, I tried not to care
You sat close together like I wasn’t there
I still held my wish, even when it looked strange
’Cause I thought that our friendship would never change
⸻
[Chorus]
But I gave you fake roses and a hand-written card
Ran off to the bathroom with a pounding heart
You found it and read it while the hallway stared
Then you told me the truth — right outside where I cared
You said, “I like her more,” and I nodded okay
But I broke all the flowers by the end of the day
⸻
[Hook / Bridge]
Hearts on display…
Torn in the hallway
Too brave, too fast
I gave what shouldn’t last
Hearts on display…
Thrown like a throwaway
She never said she talked to you
When I wasn’t in the way
⸻
[Verse 4]
Now it’s Valentine’s morning, and I’m not the one
You’re kissing my best friend while I try not to run
You gave her your gifts, and she smiled so wide
And I wondered if she ever once thought of my side
⸻
[Chorus]
I gave you fake roses and a hand-written card
Ran off to the bathroom with a pounding heart
You found it and read it while the hallway stared
Then you told me the truth — right outside where I cared
You said, “I like her more,” and I nodded okay
But I ripped up the letter and threw it away
⸻
[Outro / Final Hook]
Hearts on display…
Crushed on the floor that day
One friend was fake
And you walked away
Hearts on display…
Lesson I learned that way
Don’t give your secrets
To someone who’ll take
Your heart on display…
