Lyrics:
Who will buy a heart
Broken and tattered
Nothing like the one on display?

I can play the part
Soft when it matters
But there are things my lips can’t say

I used to be someone who
I used to be someone who
Meant every line
Like the first time, but now I’m

Pre-loved
Pre-loved

Here I go again
Cup overflowing
Suddenly I’m losing control

You say it’s pretend
But I feel it growing
Don’t know how to slow down my soul

I want to be someone who
I want to be someone who
Learns from the past
Who can make something last

Pre-loved
Pre-loved

When I’m near to you
I am nearly new
I could swear I feel it start
And the wear and tear
Don’t need no repair
For another human heart
That is broken too
And is hoping to

Be loved
Pre-loved

Who will buy a heart
Broken and tattered
Nothing like the one on display?
