Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Time stands still
All I can feel is the time standing still
As you put down the keys
And say, "Don't call me, please"
[Chorus]
While the radio plays "I Think I Need a New Heart"
Oh, "I Think I Need a New Heart", oh
[Verse 2]
You've lied too but it's a sin that I can't tell the truth
'Cause it all comes out wrong
Unless I put it in a song
[Chorus]
So the radio plays "I Think I Need a New Heart"
Just for you
"I Think I Need a New Heart"
[Verse 3]
'Cause I always say, "I love you"
When I mean, "Turn out the light"
And I say, "Let's run away"
When I just mean, "Stay the night"
But the words you want to hear
You will never hear from me
I'll never say, "Happy anniversary"
Never stay to say, "Happy anniversary"
[Chorus]
So I think I need a new heart, oh
I think I need a new heart, oh
I think I need a new heart, oh
I think I need a new heart, oh
Give me time
