Lyrics
I told my momma on the day she died
I love you this much & don?t you cry
I?z only five but I was a man
So I made a card with my little hand
I never knew this would be this last one I would start
But much like her it was bound to break my heart
I say Red, Half Colored Heart
Oh yeh, she never knew
I say Red, Half Colored Heart
Oh yeh, just like you
So many times I gave away solely just to understand ? how
Could it work, could it be that I?m afraid even still now
One minute love is here, you?re in it then it?s gone
No matter what your age a house is still a home
And when I?m left with broken pictures in my head
I take what?s left of my heart and I?I paint it red
I say Red, Half Colored Heart
Oh yeh, she never knew
I say Red, Half Colored Heart
Oh yeh, just like you
I say Red, Half Colored Heart
Oh yeh, she never knew
I say Red, Half Colored Heart
Oh yeh, just like you
