X Marks The Spot Where My Heart Used To Be

X Marks The Spot Where My Heart Used To Be

A Poem by Travis Prino

This isn't gonna be another cliche song about our love

but when you walked away you left a mark I can't get rid of

but I don't want to talk about it anymore

and I don't want to write about it like I did before

I just want everything to be okay

and I'm hoping that today's the day


I can feel the scalpel crisscross my left breast

peel away the skin expose what's under flesh

ripping out the part of me that feels for you

sew me up an empty hole where my heart used to

beat and pump the blood that's flowing through my veins

but now I'm weak without it and life I can barely sustain


you were never true with what you said you felt for me

and now I'm lying naked as my heart and chest continue to bleed

you were just the trigger to my slow decay

it won't be long until you see me wasted away

I just want everything to be fine

but I'm still struggling not to die


I can feel the scalpel crisscross my left breast

peel away the skin expose what's under flesh

ripping out the part of me that feels for you

sew me up an empty hole where my heart used to

beat and pump the blood that's flowing through my veins

but now I'm weak without it and life I can barely sustain


I'm waiting for someone to give me a reason to trust

I'm hiding from the pain of what I've let myself become

I won't let this break me, I won't let this break me again

I'm fixing the broken pieces that you left here for dead

I'm waiting for someone to give me a reason to trust

I'm hiding from the pain of what I've let myself become

I won't let this break me, I won't let this break me again

I'm fixing the broken pieces that you left here for dead


I can feel the scalpel crisscross my left breast

peel away the skin expose what's under flesh

ripping out the part of me that feels for you

sew me up an empty hole where my heart used to

beat and pump the blood that's flowing through my veins

but now I'm weak without it and life I can barely sustain


you are my disease

and I'm still searching for the cure

hopefully one day I'll find her.

Just a little caveat to my writing, 95% of what I write are lyrics so excuse the length and repetition and don't be deterred by that. Hope you enjoy. Feel free to comment. more..
