Evan Geistfeld - Not Heartless Lyrics

I've been painted as a villain, in the story you've been told
But beneath this guarded armor, there's a heart that once was gold
I'm not heartless, I just learned to use my heart less, you see
Better slapped with truth's hard lesson, than to be kissed with deceit
One day someone broke me, left my pieces on the floor
From those shattered fragments, I became something more
So why should I apologize, for this monster I became
The one who turned me into this, never took the blame
I'm not heartless, just protecting what remains
From the ashes of my past, I rise unbreakable again
Every scar tells a story, of the battles I have fought
Every tear a reminder, of the lessons I was taught
I'm not heartless, I just choose to guard my soul
Better to stand alone in truth, than lose myself in lies of old
One day someone broke me, thought they'd leave me in despair
But from those broken pieces, I found strength beyond compare
So why should I apologize, for this monster I became
The one who turned me into this, never took the blame
I'm not heartless, just protecting what remains
From the ashes of my past, I rise unbreakable again
Every scar tells a story, of the battles I have fought
Every tear a reminder, of the lessons I was taught
I'm not heartless, just protecting what remains
From them, to stand alone in truth, than loose myself
In lies of old
One day someone broke me, thought they'd leave me in despair
But from those broken pieces, I found strength beyond compare
So why should I apologize, for this monster I became
The one who turned me into this, never took the blame
I'm not heartless, just protecting what remains
From the ashes of my past, I rise unbreakable again
I won't apologize for the walls I had to build
For the monster you see now, was by your hand instilled
I'm not heartless, just wiser, from the wounds I had to heal
In the silence of my pain, I discovered what is real
So why should I apologize, for the walls I had to build
It's true, better face the world with strength, than to be broken by you
One day someone broke me, but now I stand so tall
Unbreakable and fearless, I've conquered through it all
I'm not heartless, just learned to use my heart less
It's true, better to face the world with strength, than to be broken by you
One day someone broke me, but now I stand so tall
Unbreakable and fearless, I've conquered through it all
