Shallow Hearts Leave Shallow graves

Verse

He wore goodbye like a smile

Traded with a friend.

Like a casual passerby

One sees now and then.

Verse

She arrived like a surprise.

Brought the gift of joy.

He was happy as a child.

Who had a new toy.

Pre chorus

Each day brought less fun

Than the one before.

Once the new wore off.

He loved her no more.

Chorus

Shallow hearts leave shallow graves

One day soon he’ll dig his own.

Verse

She wore sorrow like a veil.

Selfish boys don’t care.

Like a worn out hand me down

He no longer wears.

Verse

He moved on like a taxi

Picked up his next fare.

He had the meter going.

Told her that he cared.

Pre chorus

Each day brought less fun

Than the one before.

Once the new wore off.

She loved him no more.

Chorus

Shallow hearts leave shallow graves

One day soon he’ll dig his own.
