Track 1

How do I mend this broken heart?

The goodbye kisses in front of H-Mart

Late nights at my house playing darts

Mulling over our zodiac charts

Our love for one another a work of art

It’s hard to believe that now we must part

I cannot deny that I must be smart

I tried my best to delay this depart

And protect what was left of my beating heart

Soon you made me feel so small

Waiting by the phone 

Anxious for your call 

No longer certain that we could face it all

Until we reached our inevitable fall

I yearned for you to value me

My love for you deeper than the big blue sea

Yet you rang the liberty bell to flee

Leaving behind mountains of debris

I knew I had to set you free

No more ‘us’ and no more ‘we’

But only I was left to pay the fee

A tragic ending that I could not foresee

What I learned is that there are no guarantees

A lover and partner turned absentee

I could no longer bear to disagree

With someone who did not want to be with me

At least I have a college degree.
