Bartered Heart (Larry W. Jones 09/25/2007) (song#5019)

I bartered a heart filled with love
For lips filled with empty kisses
That you were just casting away
I bartered dreams of a lifetime
For what seems to be just lost time
That I spent with you every day

Dear, I thought that you would be there
To keep me from feeling so blue
Now my heart knows you didn't care
And you didn't care to be true
I know you're filled up with your pride
And you don't need me by your side
But lips filled with empty kisses
Emptied my heart of love for you

The love that I gave you was true
But I guess that's gone out of style
I didn't know little things about you
That were big mistakes by a mile
Golden dreams are now colored blue
And my poor heart now is on trial

Well, it's time that we said goodbye
I need to see happier days
Those days when I had a good cry
Sure has made my broken heart pay
I bartered a heart filled with love
For lips filled with empty kisses
That you were just casting away
