splitting up my heart

Writing on the back of a note you wrote me

months ago when we were still friends

I'm writing down the words to this song

it's short and sweet but the melody never ends

convince my thoughts not to roam

convince my body that you're home

convince my soul that you won't break it apart

'cuz you gotta convince me

I'm done splitting up my heart

Men have played me for fools

left me standing holding my book of rules

and whats harder is this box full of tools

none of them seem to work on me

guess I'm screwed

Convince my thoughts not to roam

convince my body that you're home

Convince my soul that you wont break it apart

'Cuz baby, I'm done splitting up my heart

Now you're sittin' in that bar

Staring into your drink

trying to remember who you are

Boy I've been there, and yes I know it's rough

But it's nights like these that make boys tough

Try not to worry 'bout your tomorrows

Tonight we're drinking away our sorrows

Convince my lips to meet yours

Convince my eyes to take a tour

of all the brilliance inside your face

Boy show me nobody could ever take your place
