I had a Matthew once
but now he's gone
He was my sweetest love
but not any more
He was the dream fulfilled
but now he dreams elsewhere
He held me close and loved me closer
but he loves her now, not me

I kissed a Matthew once
but now my lips are cold
I tenderly stroked his cheeks
but now my hands touch nothing
I would sleep and wake beside him
but she fills his bed now
I was Matthew's passion once
but that fizzled when we parted

I loved a Matthew once, so deeply the Gods wept
And now that he is gone, the only tears are mine

I've fought and lost at such great cost
And left me with this scar
Oh my crumpled heart,
