the devil vs my heart

The devil couldn't reach me He instead put this heart in my chest This heart the beats for all the wrong people A heart that beats too loudly For the people whose hearts don't beat back A heart that feels too much And never learns This heart that yearns for love That doesn't understand when it's not love… It cares for the hands that push it away It aches for the voices, that will never call back, The devil couldn't reach me But at some point he learned he didn't have to With a heart like this It would destroy itself tearing it apart piece by piece And call it love
