If you throw me out the window, I will leave a broken heart, but lift me up and you might find a brand new shopping cart.
An 'H'
Throwing 'H' out of 'heart' leaves 'eart' (broken heart). Adding 'H' to 'art' gives you 'hart', or changing a letter leads to 'cart'. More simply: taking H out of 'heart' changes it, and adding H to 'art' makes 'hart'. Wait, the wordplay relies on spelling: 'Heart' minus H is 'eart', 'art' plus H is 'hart'.
