I Had A Heart Lyrics – Sia

[Verse 1]
I loved you, I fed you, I kissed you, I wed you
I needed, needed you
I loved you, I held you, I helped you, I wed you
I needed, needed you (You)

[Pre-Chorus]
I gave you my heart and my credit card
I thought we’d be together forever
I loved you so much
Your smile and your touch
I thought we’d be together forever

[Chorus]
Oh, I had a heart as bright as the stars
And you had an art, you kept me in the dark
And I had a laugh that you broke in half
And I had a heart that I thought you would stop

[Post-Chorus]
This love, you’ll never see again
(This love) you’ll never see again
(This love) no, you’ll never see, my friend
(This love) you’ll never see again
(This love) you’ll never see again
(This love) you’ll never see again
(This love) no, you’ll never see again
(This love) you’ll never see, my friend, no, no

[Verse 2]
You lost me to fear
To anger, to tears
I was afraid of you (You)
You lost me to cruelty, you questioned my beauty
Counting my calories

[Pre-Chorus]
I gave you my heart and my credit card
I thought we’d be together forever
I loved you so much
Your smile and your touch
I thought we’d be together forever

[Chorus]
Oh, I had a heart as bright as the stars
And you had an art, you kept me in the dark
And I had a laugh that you broke in half
And I had a heart that I thought you would stop

[Post-Chorus]
This love, you’ll never see again
You’ll never see again
No, you’ll never see, my friend
You’ll never see again
You’ll never see again
You’ll never see again
No, you’ll never see again
You’ll never see, my friend, no, no

[Bridge]
This love, this love
This love, this love, this love

[Outro]
Oh, I had a heart as bright as the stars
And you had an art, you kept me in the dark
And I had a laugh that you broke in half
And I had a heart that I thought you would stop
