It's like I have a wooden heart, and you cut away
The very best part of me, and you hid it away
Now I'm left here with a whittled heart, it don't look the same
As the day when you stepped inside and started carving away
And you liked heavy metal, but I didn't mind
Cause you already knew what happened when I had too much wine
But you were talking about forever, the future planted in your head
While the thought of my tomorrow had me wandering instead
It's like I have a wooden heart, and you cut away
The very best part of me, and you hid it away
Now I'm left here with a whittled heart, it don't look the same
As they day when you stepped inside and started carving away
When you met me, you weren't allowed to love me yet
So how on earth were we to know
And when you met me, I wasn't even pretty yet
So how on earth were we to know
That one day we'd have two wooden hearts, and we'd cut away
The very best parts of them, and we'd hide them away
And we'd be left here with two whittled hearts that don't look the same
As the day when we took our knives and started carving away
Yeah, I ran out of forever to figure it out
So won't you tell me about your good, good life, how it all worked out
And maybe I could meet your new wife, are the two kids around
I heard her daughter has my same name, do you say it out loud
