His heart just followed her when she left
He was cast adrift in a world of emptiness
And though he really sought to carry on
He always felt under a deep kind of stress.
But then one day he found another
And his heart was melted again
But his hesitancy makes him resist her
Because he’s frightened of more pain.
And so he’s trapped or so he thinks
But his lonely heart has other plans
She draws so deeply into him
That loneliness gets no chance.
So now he has a different life
With a new love once again
The future looks much brighter now
It’s a shame it’s just pretend.
