The Tin Heart

I could sit here and tell you all about me And the secrets that I do keep About my life and my feelings inside And my dreams just out of reach I could tell you about the love's in my life And of those that made me cry And of the passion's that I cling to so And for reasons I know not why I can tell you about thought happiness found And how I watched it die And how overwhelmed with hurt I become As alone I was inside I can tell you about how I feel inside And of life how I feel about things And how I searched a dictionary once For happiness and what it did mean I could tell you about this road that I chose And it's burdens with it's heavy loads And decisions I faced that I had to make Some were wrong and I do know I can tell you about the beauty I see I can see it all around me And how that I now feel that wisdom has come I can hear it even now as I speak I could tell you all about my life How I got up when I fell apart And what I've discovered that life's given me For behold is given, the tin heart.
