Ms Eva Johnson - This Is Not a Heartbreak Piece Lyrics

This is not a heartbreak piece
This is just a piece of my heart
Which stopped for a second
But please, don't worry about me
In a moment, it'll start

He told me that he cheated
And what really got me was the flippant way he said it
Cold, matter of fact, ice, just like that
Not romanticised like in the movies
No "the devil made me do it"
No "I really didn't mean it"
Just a whack matter of fact, "here's what happened" explanation
In fact, "I had a one night stand", he said
Actually, there were two
Girls
"It was back to back", he said
"The week I was done with school
I did it to get it out of my system
All the stuff locked up in my cistern
And I know it's a lame excuse but
I really thought you would wanna know"
He said
What he didn't say was
Before coming back home
To this prude of a girlfriend practising celibacy
But she's a sole practitioner cos I needed the intimacy
So I partitioned, I divided the intricacies
And I got it while I could
And once I did it, once wasn't enough
So I had to do it twice
And yes, I guess I'm sorry
Cos I know what I did wasn't nice
I said

Get thee behind me
At the present, you're my past
Oh no, you can't stand beside me
Should have known we wouldn't last
Now my heart might need a suture
Cos you went and put some holes in it
But I'm looking on to the future
And I don't, don't see you in it

Get thee behind me
At the present, you're my past
Oh no, you can't stand beside me
Should have known we wouldn't last
Now my heart might need a suture
Cos you went and put some holes in it
But I'm looking on to the future
And I don't, don't see you in it

I asked him a few questions
Did you use protection
Did I know the girls
He said yes, he said no
And all the time I was wondering
Girl, have you learnt your lesson?
I had told myself that he loved me
But it turns out he was just messing around
While messaging me
Stuff like, you're my queen, you're my crown
Well I guess I have to get off my throne
Get off this high horse
Cos I never really had a crown
All I have now is a niggling headache
And I'm having to wrap myself up in the music
Cos I fear if I let go that I might lose it
I might lose it

Get thee behind me
At the present, you're my past
Oh no, can't stand beside me
Should have known we wouldn't last
Now my heart might need a suture
Cos you went and put some holes in it
But I'm looking on to the future
And I don't, don't see you in it

Get thee behind me
At the present, you're my past
Oh no, can't stand beside me
Should have known we wouldn't last
Now my heart might need a suture
Cos you went and put some holes in it
But I'm looking on to the future
And I don't, don't see you in it
