Small heart.
Soft keys in a drawled bitter pair
Hands they hold a knife in the shallow street
They intersect, they misunderstand
They forgive another stranger for being adhesive
A situation so strange, can’t keep your mind out of it
‘Cause your drained out and fed up
Blood on your head, your smothered
Hold a burning candle, the sting won’t match
It’s been way to long (x2)
And she’s not holding up
Won’t you bring a smile to her face dear, deprivement?
Won’t come home and stay this time dear, hallucination?
‘Cause she’s making out a lie
And you’re breaking out a fake
(Hold it up, hold it up…, the shutters this way)
She’s said goodbye to reality
And she’s crying beneath the stall during lunch, but you wouldn’t know
A letter so small that carries no “dear love,”
Isn’t that what lovers made about?
Can’t you give a heart that carries no doubt?
A flutter in the shadow you once had but never followed
Did you grow a head or some confidence?
I wouldn’t know, because you never make sense.
Oh, don’t bother bluffing a disgrace this time.
Small heart, leaving in a minute or two.
Small heart, shrinking without you.
Small heart, loves, but never shows the bleeding
Won’t you stay for the burying,
Of nothing new?
