Once again I'm trying to justify the awful things I've been
You keep crawling off, I keep falling from the edge
I used my heart and not my head
But at what a cost, at what expense?
What is that supposed to mean she said
They're just random thoughts get your point across
Use your heart, use your heart, give me one last shot
How am I supposed to breathe she said
you strangle me with love
what am I supposed to read in that
What is she speaking of
and I see your heart is like a little girl you'll never change
How am I supposed to choose I ask
My future or my fate
What am I supposed to do with this
mess that you've left on my plate?
and I see your heart...
Etched in red I sketched your name
Into the broad side of my chest
Then I washed it off, when you had gone
Sat and wondered what went wrong
Tried to cast you out, tried to carry on
What do you hope to achieve she said
Your dreams are so hard fought, so often lost
Follow your heart follow your heart
And you'll not be far off
What am I supposed to be to you
Your experiment in hearts
How am I supposed to live like this
Will tomorrow never come?
And I see your heart...
