lyrics
It suffers constant use
which leads to heavy wear
so you don’t let your heart
compete with other hearts
It’s not like there’s a chance
you’ll ever finish first
Machines can take abuse
but human tissue tears
and what cannot be fixed
we better not break
A heart that runs amok
won’t stop until it’s burst
The dead are grateful
for there’s no more begging for release
and heads of state, full of regret
are begging for the keys
they’re on their knees
but darling, please
don’t let your guard down
It suffers constant use
which leads to heavy wear
but what do you care
but what do you care
when I’m not there
and you’re not there
The dead are grateful
for there’s no more begging for release
and heads of state, full of regret
are begging for the keys
they’re on their knees
but darling, please
don’t let your heart down
Never give ‘em the keys
they just do as they please
while you spend your life on your knees
Hold my hand and I’ll pull you through
I’m like you
I will never give ‘em the keys
they just do as they please
while you spend your life on your knees
Hold my hand and I’ll pull you through
I’m like you
I’m like you
which leads to heavy wear
so you don’t let your heart
compete with other hearts
It’s not like there’s a chance
you’ll ever finish first
Machines can take abuse
but human tissue tears
and what cannot be fixed
we better not break
A heart that runs amok
won’t stop until it’s burst
The dead are grateful
for there’s no more begging for release
and heads of state, full of regret
are begging for the keys
they’re on their knees
but darling, please
don’t let your guard down
It suffers constant use
which leads to heavy wear
but what do you care
but what do you care
when I’m not there
and you’re not there
The dead are grateful
for there’s no more begging for release
and heads of state, full of regret
are begging for the keys
they’re on their knees
but darling, please
don’t let your heart down
Never give ‘em the keys
they just do as they please
while you spend your life on your knees
Hold my hand and I’ll pull you through
I’m like you
I will never give ‘em the keys
they just do as they please
while you spend your life on your knees
Hold my hand and I’ll pull you through
I’m like you
I’m like you
