Take This Heart From Me
Take it, will you?
I don't want my heart anymore
It's got holes and dents and blackmarks
And I'm sure there's even more
Its hurting just sitting here
In my chest, it burns a hole
As if i didn't have enough already
Just tie it onto a pole
And parade it around for everyone to see
The bloody flag blowing in the wind
But wait a minute, its not a flag...
That heart once belonged to me
But i don't want it anymore
It doesn't feel like my own
I know you can't buy a new one
But it's okay cause I'm alone
Take it from me, will you?
If you fix it, fine, just keep it.
I'm done with this heart inside my chest
Its too fragile, too weak and unfit
