I Halve His Heart

Sara Messenger © 1989

You can keep him to yourself
And think that he’s your man
Make him promise to stay
You can hold him every night
And feel his body near
Oh but I have his heart
I know I halve his heart

You think you hold the deed
To some fine property
Treat him just like a thing
But when he’s in need
I know he’ll come to me
Because I have his heart
I know I halve his heart

I have his heart
I know I halve his heart
I have his heart

You can keep his name,
His ring, him suffering
Anything you want
But the thought will haunt
Where does he go
When you’re apart
Everyone knows
I have his heart

He may shut me out
Devote his all to you
Play it noble and smart
But he’ll agonize in doubt
His whole life torn in two
Because I halve his heart
I know I have his heart
