A Heart-rending Shop

SIM Gum

If your shoes are worn out

And if it falls off

Go to the shoe store

 As if you're getting a new one

And my heart, too

I want to buy a new one

If only I could

If your clothes are worn out,

Or if its torn, 

Go to a clothing store

 As if you're getting a new one

Inside my heart

worn out and out

My heart

I want to buy a new one

A store that sells a heart

Where would it be?
