Never Give All The Heart Lyrics - Bombshell - Smash Cast

As a girl I lived in a million homes 

So I always would keep to myself 

And my lessons were learned from the stories and poems I would steal from a library shelf 

Yes the books like the roots weren't mine to keep 

But the words weren't left behind 

And I think of them all now when I can't sleep 

And the poet who read my mind 

As the wise men once wrote never give all the heart 

Well it's easy to see he was writing for me 

I just wish I could play that part 

Yes he scribbled that love isn't worth thinking of 

That it fades out from kiss to kiss 

If I just learned those lines 

Well, just think of the misery I'd miss 

As the Irish men said don't put your heart up to play 

When he warned of the cost and that heart that he lost 

Mr. Yates really paved the way 

For the men that I've known who have clearly shown 

They've been reading him from the start 

Cause when it comes to me, well, their kisses come free 

But they never give all the heart 

When he warned of the cost and the hearts that he lost 

Mr. Yates really paved the way 

For the men that I've known, well they've clearly shown 

They've been reading him from the start 

Cause each time that I fall they never give all the heart
