Heartstrings Unraveled

My heart’s a jukebox it’s stuck on repeat

A broken record that skips on defeat

The needle scratches on memories raw

Every note’s a reminder of what I saw

You played my heartstrings but left them untuned

A melody lost in the shadow of you

I gave you the rhythm you gave me the blues

A song of heartbreak I didn’t choose

Your words were whispers wrapped up in deceit

Promises dancing to a hollow beat

Your love was a solo I tried to harmonize

But the chords collapsed in your tangled lies

Let the bassline thump let the sorrow flow

Turn the pain to rhythm let the groove show

I’ll sing my story let the world hear

A soulful cry for every fallen tear

You played my heartstrings but left them untuned

A melody lost in the shadow of you

I gave you the rhythm you gave me the blues

A song of heartbreak I didn’t choose

Now I’m rebuilding note by aching note

A symphony rising from the words you wrote

Your silence can’t stop this song I compose

I’ll find my own rhythm where the music grows
