The Heart Lyrics by Ionika

the heart - Single

2018

[Hook: Ionika]
The heart is so fragile
When it breaks it might take awhile
To piece itself together
And to help you feel better
Hard times fade, and the good times pass
But I see your warm smile in a prism of glass
Might be cold, but you’re always in my deep soul
The heart can’t forget you in this great big world
Death comes everyday, but everything is okay
The stars will shine bright in your name past this day
[Verse 1]
Till death do us part and it did
You were here for a short time, saw me as a kid but
Now I’m grown up and I just wanna talk
About the things you’ve missed through the sky’s thick mist
Heaven must be real nice I hope you’re doing fine
I can feel your presence every time the bells chime
What's it like up there? Did you make any friends?
Can you see your daughter raise me through God’s lens?
Grandma’s doing fine too, she really misses you
Still has that photo of you in that green uniform
Man, times have really changed now I’m going to college
Last time you saw me I was slurpin' rice porridge
I remember when you put me in your lap
And I told you all the bones in the body, that's a fact
Bought me cool toys, fed me well, and made me laugh
Held my tiny little hands as we walked the Chongqing paths
[Hook]
The heart is so fragile
When it breaks it might take awhile
To piece itself together
And to help you feel better
Hard times fade, and the good times pass
But I see your warm smile in a prism of glass
Might be cold, but you’re always in my deep soul
The heart can’t forget you in this great big world
Death comes everyday, but everything is okay
The stars will shine bright in your name past this day
[Verse 2]
When I heard you passed, my heart was in pieces
Only seven years old, I couldn’t believe it
A best friend was gone and an inspiration
Told me to follow my dream to be a heart surgeon
Three years later when it was your birthday
Mom and I placed candles in the room where you stayed
I sat on the bed with tears in my eyes
Short moments we had played longer in my mind
The picture of you in that green uniform
Looked back at me and said to say a few kind words
So I said "I miss you. I really, really miss you
Grandpa, I want you back! I really, really need you!"
My mom held me tight and told me not to cry
But I did, it's been years since our last goodbye
Then she told me that you’re watching me high above
Protecting me and still giving me all your love
[Verse 3]
I still have faith that you’re watching me
Sharing all the memories, don’t need a key
For eleven long years you’ve been in my life
I still have time, I hope you’re not too afraid to fly
Through the thick and the thin, I’ll never forget you
Life doesn’t end, it just moves on and starts new
When the night sky clears and the blue stars appear
I feel like I can see you waving as I shed a tear
[Hook]
The heart is so fragile
When it breaks it might take awhile
To piece itself together
And to help you feel better
Hard times fade, and the good times pass
But I see your warm smile in a prism of glass
Might be cold, but you’re always in my deep soul
The heart can’t forget you in this great big world
Death comes everyday, but everything is okay
The stars will shine bright in your name past this day
