The Hearts of Our Young - Natalie Craig, Slaves

How could you leave and watch us

Face this life alone

Both our hearts were yours to mold

So open and free

But everything we’ve lost

How did the words make it worth it

How did the words make it worth it

I know what it’s like to hurt when we’re alone

I want to tell the one that follows in my footsteps

They aren’t the way, so turn back

Set the course to watch them fall

But these cuts are deeper after all

Twenty-seven years, my heart still hurts, it still hurts

How could you leave her, she was perfect.

Now all your dreams, they reek of failure

Still the older we get, the more broken we become

Can someone show me how to love (show me how to love)

Watching mistakes, I feel I’ll never know love

How could I be like you

I’m not over everything I made

Yet it day to day

Just to let them fall

Just to be something in your eyes

How could you leave her, she was perfect.

Now all your dreams, they reek of failure

Still the older we get, the more broken we become

Can someone show me how to love (show me how to love)

Watching mistakes, I feel I’ll never know love

How could you leave the watch us

Face this life alone

Both our hearts were yours to mold

So open it free

But everything we’ve lost

How did the words make it worth it

How could you leave her, she was perfect.

Now all your dreams, they reek of failure

Still the older we get, the more broken we become

Can someone show me how to love (show me how to love)

Watching mistakes, I feel I’ll never know love

Can someone show me how to love (show me how to love) (continuous)

I’ll never know love
