'this Heart Don'T Beat For You Anymore'
It might look convincing
But I just don’t feel it anymore
When people talk about it
I don’t feel it anymore
The rhythmic blows don’t hit home
The sounds are all spent
Just hollow, the refrain
It doesn’t mean a thing
I don’t think it ever did
The beating of your heart
Is not a conduit anymore
It’s like walking a labyrinth
Wall to wall
On a path to nowhere
'Cause this heart don’t beat,
This heart don’t beat,
This heart don’t beat for you anymore
You don’t need to feel it
‘Cause it’s written all o’er my face
It’s not like I planned it
It’s just the way things ended
Hearts can’t be dictated
I’m sorry if this hurts
But I can’t play this role no more
I’m sorry if I’m breaking your heart
The beating of your heart
Is not a conduit anymore
It’s like walking a labyrinth
From wall to wall
On a path to nowhere
‘Cause this heart don’t beat,
This heart don’t beat,
This heart don’t beat for you anymore
Saying I don’t feel it
Boils down to conviction
The moving signs are everywhere
It’s clear like daylight
My heart refuses to beat for you
The beating of your heart
Is not a conduit anymore
It’s like walking a labyrinth
From wall to wall
On a path to nowhere
‘Cause this heart don’t beat,
This heart don’t beat,
This heart don’t beat for you anymore
