The hormonal cliches of a teenage heart.
Why do you nuture such disdain for love?
Why must you make this triangle a pyramid?
Why watch the heart you want shatter
And why let this heart adore ignorantly?
How can you say they both matter?
Why let your tears fall in front of one
Only to wear that smile for two?
Sure, you're happy in his arms,
Until you think of another's kiss
Neither hate you, they refuse to try
Who could doubt your love, your heart?

What a heart, a manipulative heart
Tell them, Oh Heart, you manipulative heart
Tell them, Sweet Heart, what did you start?

Just lie back, listen to the storm
The skies arise a solemn grey
Ironic that they mirror your mind
Watching and waiting for your pawns to hate.
Hate the girl that loves them so
Hate the heart that doesn't know

What a heart, a manipulative heart
Tell them, Oh Heart, you manipulative heart
Tell them, Sweet Heart, what did you start?

You chose, you 'had' to, aye?
And still, sweet insanity persists to object
You chose, but do you know what you want?
Or did you stop listening so long ago?
Watch how she can smile for anyone
Blissfully unaware of each heart she snares.
Too bad you stopped listening - I'll give you a hint:
When everyone's gone and you're off the phone
Whose heart do you yearn for when you're all alone?
