heartstrings

keep my heart inside your hands, beating, leave it in your grasp, keep it, it's yours to understand, breaking, slipping through like sand, i've taken my heart out, 'cause it don't beat the same no more, i've zipped my mouth shut, 'cause my words don't mean much at all, i'm gonna lay down, until i fade out, i'll go to sleep now, don't lie to yourself, no, i'm gonna wake up, and i'll stay up, and wonder why i'm lying on your pillow, keep my thoughts inside your hands, mould them, they're yours to comprehend, i've taken my lungs out, 'cause you are the air i breathe, to find out that her heart, beats fine without me, i'm gonna lay down, until i fade out, i'll go to sleep now, don't lie to yourself, no, i'm gonna wake up, and i'll stay up, and wonder why i'm lying on your pillow, my body feels cold, in the night when you're so warm, when you stole the sheets on the sixteenth, i remember when you said, "the night no longer feels as dark", and my body feels cold, in the night when you're so warm, when you couldn't sleep on the twenty-fifth, i remember when you said, "the night has never felt so dark", i'm gonna lay down, until i fade out, i'll go to sleep now, i'll go to sleep now, i'm gonna wake up, and i'll stay up, and wonder why i'm lying on your pillow, i'm gonna lay down, until i fade out, i'll go to sleep now, don't lie to yourself, no, i'm gonna wake up, and i'll stay up, and wonder why i'm lying on your pillow, and my body feels cold, in the night when you're so warm, when you couldn't sleep on the twenty-fifth, i remember when you said, "the night has never felt so dark"
