I wanted to make you the owner of my heartbeats
With a little bow I handed you my heart
You stashed it among the things in your purse and
I already knew that you were going to lose it
F*ck, girl, you can't be trusted with anything
I gave you my soul and you smashed it too
And now the stitches bleed each night from the rubbing
That I've barely managed to sew up
For loving you every day more than I should
I've forgotten to love myself too
For loving you more than anybody
But I'll make a song out of the shards
Scattered around the living room
Of this heart, of this heart that
What do I know, you must know what you've done
With the battered heart I carry here
That as soon as it saw you it slipped out of my chest and
It went straight off without wanting to say goodbye
And on its way out the only thing it left me
From side to side is this pretty scar
That now makes me look, for once, a lot meaner
But beside you I'm still just an apprentice
For loving you every day more than I should
I've forgotten to love myself too
For loving you more than anybody
But I'll make a song out of the shards
Scattered around the living room
Of this heart, of this heart that
And it makes me sad and I write songs
And with you I carry at the same time
And the Ramones in the cassette
And it only wants to dance
