Heartstrings

Don’t play my heartstrings 

Unless you’re willing to do a duet 

Me and you and you and I 

Side by side playing beautiful music 

Singing soulful things to our heart's content 

Confident but not boastful in our song 

Rainfall comes to drown out our sunshine 

But as with anything beautiful it needs a little hardship to grow beautifully 

Our heart strings play the most beautiful music 

Songs of pain, joy, happiness, and defeat 

Our heart plays beautifully, whether happy or sad 

Listen to your heart 

It’s singing a truthful song
