Standing for the Broken

Tonight...
I'll take a stand for those broken hearts.
I'll speak those words to that broken boy.
And when steady beating hearts grow slow,
I'll find a way to let the scissors go.
And you can cut away at these heart strings
As long as you can ignore the tears your cuts bring.
I gave you the knife to cut at the ankles of my fear
And it's the only thing, I fear,that's really kept you here.
And the scissors you hold don't have a childproof lock
And my pleas won't ever make you stop.

But tonight will stand for broken hearts
And that broken boy will fall apart
And this steady beating heart will pulsate quicker
And these heart strings will grow thicker and thicker
And you can cut until your hands bleed
But I won't be the one in need.
