Lyrics

Shattered Heart

[Chorus]

Don't shatter my heart

Don't shatter my heart

Don't shatter my heart

Don't shatter my heart

Don't shatter my heart

[Verse 1]

I've been saving up this treasure for years

I hid it somewhere so no one could touch it, yeah

With every love, I had some reason to leave

No other like it 'cause it's so authentic

Many tried, but couldn't bear the load

Tried to break through the gate but didn't have the code

When I looked in your eyes, I felt a glitch, yeah

So I present you with my most precious gift

[Pre-Chorus]

I put my love in a jar

In my heart, like a piggy bank

And I'm giving it to you

So whatever you do...

[Chorus]

Don't shatter my heart

Don't shatter my heart

Don't shatter my heart

Don't shatter my heart

Don't shatter my heart

Don't shatter my heart

Don't shatter my heart

Don't shatter my heart

Don't shatter my heart

[Verse 2]

Never knew that love can be so epic, yeah

But you saved me 'cause you're heroic

The legend has it that you've earned this throne

Since you came and pulled the sword out the stone

Many tried, but couldn't weather the storm

You came in my life and turned the lights on

And when you touched me, baby, I couldn't resist

So I present you with my most precious gift

[Pre-Chorus]

I put my love in a jar

In my heart, like a piggy bank

And I'm giving it to you

So whatever you do...

[Chorus]

Don't shatter my heart

[Bridge]

In a big emergency

Don't break the glass, call me

Our love can save anything like the Father, believe me

I gave you my all, 'cause

My heart makes me stronger

And if you pour into it, I can go even harder

[Pre-Chorus]

I put my love in a jar

In my heart, like a piggy bank

And I'm giving it to you

So whatever you do...

[Chorus]

Don't shatter my heart

Don't shatter my heart

Don't shatter my heart

Don't shatter my heart

Don't shatter my heart

Don't shatter my heart

Don't shatter my heart

Don't shatter my heart

Don't shatter my heart

Don't shatter my heart

Don't shatter my heart

Don't shatter my heart

Don't shatter my heart

Don't shatter my heart

Don't shatter my heart

Don't shatter my heart

Don't shatter my heart

Don't shatter my heart

Don't shatter my heart

Don't shatter my heart

Don't shatter my heart

Don't shatter my heart

Don't shatter my heart

Don't shatter my heart

Don't shatter my heart
