Trail of Broken Hearts Behind Me
Music and lyrics by Elisa Korenne

I like to leave a trail of broken hearts behind me
That way I know I left them wanting more
I like to see them lining up to find me
As I sneak out by the other door

I like to watch them scrambling for attention
While I’m aloof and laissez faire
I like to hear them bidding their affections
While I’m the one who leaves without a care

See them look at you
And then make them look again
Make them not want to turn away
If you’ve got them by the second glance
You’ve gotten them to stay.

I like to leave a trail of broken hearts behind me
That way I’m sure I’m loved and not ignored
I always try to keep one man beside me
And change them daily so I don’t get bored

Don’t give them anything they say they want
In fact it’s when you don’t they stick around
Don’t loosen your hold till you’re getting gone
Then leave them while they’re still bound to you

Always keep something hidden
Don’t give it all away
Keep them in your thrall
Line them up and watch them fall
You’re sure to make their day

I like to leave a trail of broken hearts behind me
I like to leave them weeping in the aisles
I always leave them wondering how to find me
Ready to follow me for miles

I wouldn’t counsel you to try my patience
My affection for you wouldn’t survive the blow
I suggest you learn some toleration
And you might postpone the time when I will go

See them look at you
And make them look again
Make them not want to turn away
If you’ve got them by the second glance
You’ve gotten them to stay.

Always keep something hidden
Don’t give it all away
Keep them in your thrall
Line them up and watch them fall
You’re sure to make their day
