My Heart

When you laughed at my plan

And you mocked all my words

I knew, then, you were worse

You'd forgotten to love

In your hands, in your hands

My heart

And the sun was unclean

And the morning the same

Contorting in the dark

In the bedroom you made

The first of the stars

Too bright for your eyes

And in your hands

My heart

And the morning's your curse

And the sun's still unwashed

Oh, we loved till it hurt

It was crushing me, love

In the night I knew was the last

In your hands, in your hands

My heart

And of course you went there

Like vertigo on a bridge

The river drunk howling like dogs

And I, running on fumes, spat flames till it scarred you

Fall away, go find your escape route

In your hands, in your hands

My heart

When you sheltered yourself

And cut off the phone

Well, I knew then you weren't hurt

You'd forgotten how to

Love back

Oh, the artist shall suffer

'Cause he's scratching his back

Till there's blood in his nails

Will you make yourself ill

With the lies that you tell?

Still

In your hands, in your hands

My heart

(Ooh-ooh)

My heart

(Ooh-ooh)

My heart

(Ooh-ooh)

My heart

(Ooh-ooh)

(Ooh-ooh)

(Ooh-ooh)

(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
