Lovesick Lullaby

I have the tendency 
To let my heart rule my destiny 
But it's just another steep and painful price 
To sing along to this lovesick lullaby

I wear my heart upon my sleeve 
But it keeps breaking constantly 
Does that make me a fool or worse 
Just add one more tear stained verse

How long have I been chasing her 
Longer than I feel the pain is worth 
I can't think up a good excuse 
To keep putting my heart through this abuse

It's just the price I pay
When I let this game go on this way 
I'm not some piece to play 
But I let my heart be used anyway
