a piece of me

A piece of my heart
is a piece of my soul

A piece of my heart
is a piece of my life

Take a piece
its yours to keep
Take a piece
its all I can give

Take it whole
and you'll take my life
Take it whole
and you'll take my soul
Take it and keep it
but you can't break it

My heart is a treasure
delicate and precious
Take only a piece
for there's a price to pay
a ransom, a fee
in case you break me

a drop of your blood
for every piece you take
a drop of your blood
for every tear you let fall
a drop of your blood
for every time it breaks

every piece of my heart
is a piece of my life
every piece of my heart
is a piece of me

take it.
keep it.
treasure it.

Or better not take anything at all.
