My Heart Lyrics by PROSE

Home of the Brave

2016

[Verse 1]
I ain't started yet, I ain't off the mark and yet
I feel like people half expect the finish lines a yard or less
Away and I'm in place for gold and didn't even hardly sweat
And they all wanna celebrate the victory in our respect
Faces from my history appear and seem to harbour threat
People I ain't spoken to for years hold out their arms again
So they'll be there to share the spoils, pick up what we can't collect
I like to think their genuine despite in what my heart suggests
Maybe I'm just insecure and they are how they seem to be
I just wonder where they were when I was down and feeling weak
And they didn't wanna know me, now they wanna hound a piece of me
Here take my heart; I Could do without it easily
Its a simple procedure I just re-open the seam and reach
A hand into my chest and pass it over it doesn't need to bleed
No need to be thankful, I'm glad too, I do it frequently
In fact why don't you keep it, here! See how much it means to me

[Chorus]
I can't give you what you want
'Cause i'd have nothing left
Can't give you what you need
Why don't you take my heart instead?
I can't give you what you want
'Cause I'd have nothing left
Can't give you what you need
Why don't you take my heart instead?

[Verse 2]
See they're quick to make assumptions, I guess that I can deal with that
The reasons why they feel this way ain't nowt to do with me in fact
I'd be lying if I said I gave a damn what you perceive me as
I ain't trying to impress you and don't need you to believe the fact
But we all want accepting regardless of how we seem to act
But see the saddest thing for me is that
We neglect the ones we love to please the people we don't need to and
Pray that they don't see the cracks, on the day the needle snaps
That's holding us together, the pressures broken the thread
And we're left with the regrets, upset, holding our heads
And the people that surround us put fresh holes in our chest
And step over our flesh we get what we accept
We prepare for the worst and yet, hope for the best
And wonder why the flowers bloom better just over the fence
And the people on the other side come poking their heads over
Full of well wishes with undertones of contempt

[Chorus]
I can't give you what you want
'cause i'd have nothing left
Can't give you what you need
Why don't you take my heart instead?
I can't give you what you want
' Cause I'd have nothing left
Can't give you what you need
Why don't you take my heart instead?
