Jon Bon Jovi
Every Word Was a Piece of My Heart
[Verse 1]
I've been starin' at the page
For what seems like days
I guess I put this one off for a while
Did I see a tear fall from your eyes
Or did you laugh so hard that you cried
When I served my secrets on a silver tray to you?
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey now, I guess the night's just bringin' me down
[Chorus]
There's no love, there's no hate
I left them there for you to take
You know that every word was a piece of my heart
[Verse 2]
You've been the blood in my veins
The only one who knows my middle name
And the smiles, they came easy 'cause of you
You know that I love you, but I hate you
'Cause I know I could never escape you
So let the choir sing, for tonight, I'm an easy mark
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey now, am I actin' just a little too proud?
[Chorus]
There's no love, there's no hate
I left them there for you to take
You know that every word was a piece of my heart
Have I said too much?
Maybe I haven't said enough
But know that every word was a piece of my heart
[Bridge]
Push me, darlin', maybe I've lost my touch
Maybe I've lost my guts
There, is that truth enough?
Hey now, hey now
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
You know these love letters mix with whisky
Just don't light a match when you kiss me
Though I'll blow away, you know I'll be back soon
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey now, hey now
Hey now, am I talkin' just a little too loud?
[Chorus]
There's no love, there's no hate
I left them there for you to take
But, know that every word was a piece of my heart
Have I said too much?
Maybe I haven't said enough
But know that every word was a piece of my heart
[Outro]
Hey now, am I talkin' just a little too proud?
Hey now, the night's just bringin' me down
