Escape Heartist

Trapped inside this dim-lit place Six-by-nine cell of inner space In a cage of ribs, locked away My heart did time, held at bay But then it hatched a plan, all on its own And slipped out through those bars of bone Escape Heartist, like Houdini in chains How the trick works, I cannot explain Like that fugitive from Alcatraz of old Covered in grease for a swim in the cold My heart broke free, it’s on its way It should arrive at your door today Will you take it in, keep it safe and sound? Or will you stomp it into the ground? Or will you send it away by speaking true Those four little words: I don't love you
