Lyrics by Zippel, Lloyd Webber
Thought I was too smart for this
Not a sucker for a kiss
Turned my back to the world
I was protected
I was so not naïve
With no heart on my sleeve
Always walked out before
I was rejected
Fairytales are not to be believed
I blame myself if I have been deceived
I was fine on my own
Made of steel, hard as stone
I know I have a heart because you broke it
I was so unaware
That I could fall so hard
But what good is a heart
If you don't care?
Like a damsel in distress
In a torn party dress
Someonе I never met
I was prеtending
Should have known all along
That I need to be strong
For a girl who's like me
There's no happy ending
I was not a hard one to convince
Girls like me don't end up with a prince
Found out love is a hoax
One of life's little jokes
I know I have a heart because you broke it
And it's shattered and bruised
And now the laugh's on me
Anyone want a heart that's barely used?
Fairytales are not to be believed
I blame myself if I have been deceived
I was fine on my own
Made of steel, hard as stone
I know I have a heart because you broke it
I was so unaware
That I could feel so bad
But what good is a heart
If you're not there?
Now I won't need a heart
'Cause I don't care
