about

This one is old. Written sometime between 2007 and 2008. What can I say, I hate jerks. That's what this one is about.

lyrics

I ain't afraid to tell you how I feel
I know you walk around looking for hearts to steal
You put them safely in that vest
You keep them close to your check

And then you go back out there every night
And you find one that won't put up a fight
And then you take her hand and then you hold it tight
And whisper "baby, it will be alright"

But she don't know what you hide behind that smile
So she'll let you touch and kiss her for a while
You make the broken heart go from hot to mild
You like fix then break, thats just your style

And I hope you fall in love and fall flat
You set the ground rules

I ain't afraid to tell you how I feel
I know you walk around looking for hearts to steal
You put them safely in that vest
You keep them close to your check

But I'm not another trophy heart-shaped flag
You can't go around and show me off a brag
I gave you love, now I want it back
I am a heart attack, a heart attack

But she don't know what you hide behind that smile
So she'll let you touch and kiss her for a while
You make the broken heart go from hot to mild
You like fix then break, thats just your style

And I hope you fall in love and fall flat
You set the ground rules
