Every time I see you,
It’s a blow that’s hard to recover from.
I feel broken,
Emptied of the capability to love.
I only feel sadness,
And the longing for yesterday.
But that all changed one day,
When you shook my world.
A strong wind,
Sweeping my heart away,
Knocking down my house of cards.

Every time a guy looks at you, your heart pounds, but it no longer melts, because he has already hurt you too many times.
