Heart Strings

[Verse 1]
In the corner of the music room
Ballet slippers on you
My heart aches when I look back
At all of that love and all that regret
Mm-mm

Serenade me, sway and sing
Dancing to the strings
Do you still think of that time?
I was the only thing on your mind
Mm-mm

[Pre-Chorus]
(Ah, ah)
We were the only thing on your mind, ah
(Ah, ah)
But there's only room for one in the spotlight
(Ah, ah)
You were born for the stage, so love was a cage
(Ah, ah)
No choice but to betray

[Chorus]
You played my heart (My heart)
Like your fucking violin
Until you snapped all of the strings
The notes would sing
Like a Stradivarius violin
Until there are no more notes to ring

[Verse 2]
Went ahead and played my heart
Like a work of art
Like I was your instrument
Yours to augment, and yours to bend
Mm-mm

Cornered in the music room
All alone, me and you
Well I still think of that time
I was the only thing on your mind
Mm-mm

[Pre-Chorus]
(Ah, ah)
We were the only thing on our minds, mhm
(Ah, ah) (Had to break free, break free)
But there's only room for one in ya spotlight
(Ah, ah) (Only you me, only)
You were born for the stage, so love was a cage
(Ah, ah) (Had to break free, break me)
No choice but to betray

[Chorus]
You played my heart (My heart)
Like your fucking violin
Until you snapped all of the strings
The notes would sing (Would sing)
Like a Stradivarius violin
Until there are no more notes to ring

[Bridge]
(You played my heart) You played my heart
(Like your violin) Violin
Until you (Snapped all the strings) all of the strings
The notes would sing
Like (A Stradivarius) your violin
(Until there are no more notes to ring)

[Chorus]
You played my heart (My heart)
Like your fucking violin
Until you snapped all of the strings (Snapped all the strings)
The notes would sing
Like a Stradivarius violin
Until there are no more notes to ring (No more notes to ring)
