Lyrics

HEARTSTRINGS
Oh you need to stop playing with my emotions
Because you’re bound, bound to break a good heart
Should never be broken
You play me like I’m your guitar
You play with me like a toy
Only when you want me yeah
And I try to steel my will
Can’t let you own me no
It’s all over when
You look at me a certain kind of way
And start playing on my heartstrings, my heartstrings yeah
Just a strum I come undone
The way you’re playing me like a love song
There you go again
You make it feel something like love
You keep plucking on my heartstrings, my heartstrings yeah
And you play me so hard and so loud
I’m too high I’m bound to crash down
Playing on my heartstrings, playing on my heartstrings
Keep playing on my heartstrings
Plucking on my heartstrings
Pluckin’ with my
Oh Lawd you need to stop
Pretending like you don’t know
You make me high then you’re making me cry
I’m strung out and you know so, uh huh
My hair stands up on the back of my neck
When you kiss and you blow so
And the way that you’re working my nerves
You’re a real virtuoso
Said it’s all over when
You look at me a certain kind of way
And start playing on my heartstrings, my heartstrings yeah
Just a strum I come undone
The way you’re playing me like a love song
There you go again
You make it feel something like love
You keep plucking on my heartstrings, my heartstrings yeah
And you play me so hard and so loud
I’m too high I’m bound to crash down
Playing on my heartstrings, playing on my heartstrings yeah
Keep playing on my heartstrings
Plucking on my heartstrings
Pluckin’ with my heart
(Whoa, why you keep fuckin' with my heart oh baby
Why you fuckin' with my heart)
Oh oh oh oh oh…
Why won’t you let me go
I don’t know how to make this stop
Said it’s all over when
You look at me a certain kind of way
And start playing on my heartstrings, my heartstrings yeah
Just a strum I come undone
The way you’re playing me like a love song
There you go again
You make it feel something like love
You keep plucking on my heartstrings, my heartstrings yeah
And you play me so hard and so loud
I’m too high I’m bound to crash down
There you go again
You make it feel something like love oh yeah
