Madilyn Bailey - Red Ribbon

Red Ribbon


I’ll take this red ribbon
Stitch my heart together
It will heal give it time
It beats a strange rhythm
But I’ll still go on living when I don’t get it right

Don’t beat myself up bout the things that didn’t work out
Least I can say is that I tried
I’ll take this red ribbon
Stitch my heart together and I know I’ll be fine

Remember all of the pain
Was it all too much?
Remember falling apart every time we touch
Remember going insane but I’ll never give up
A heart that’s been broken is a heart that’s been loved

Red red ribbon, ribbon red red
A heart that’s been broken is a heart that’s been loved
Red red ribbon, ribbon red red
A heart that’s been broken is a heart that’s been loved


I’ll take this lead pencil
Make a different picture
And I’ll draw in a smile

I’ll take these sharp scissors
Cut a new heart out of paper
You know I’ll make it mine

Don’t beat myself up bout the things that didn’t work out
Least I can say is that I tried
I’ll take this red ribbon
Lie it on the pavement and I won’t cross that line


I’ve got stitches and scars
I’ve got yards of yarn
Got miles of string running under my skin
I’ve got so much to give so I’ll give it again and again and again
