Heartless (alternate mix)

We were kids, so I get it

But why don't you listen for just one second?

Just to take it in

And make me feel like I'm someone worth your attention

Is this the kind of sound you like?

I guess I better play it up for you

Just to break me in

And make me realize it'll never happen

It'll never happen

And I know, I know, I know, I know it's unrealistic

To bring something else into it

Open a hand, they stare and stand

You let it fall away

And I know, I know, I know, I know

I know, I know that I can't get my hopes up

My hopes crushed

Shake 'em down and let 'em rust

But I wish

Oh, I just wish

You would see me once

Let the façade end

Is this the turning point you need?

Breaking me down just to watch me bleed

(Is this what you needed?

Is this what you wanted?)

Throwing it all right through the wringer

Nimble-fingered

Stringing me up with no intent

Of bringing me back down

And I know, I know, I know, I know

I shouldn't get my hopes up just to get them crushed

Crumpled under the weight of your hands (falling apart)

That fed me long ago (falling apart)

And I know, I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I know I should let this go

(Let me go, let me go)

And oh, I will forgive and oh, I won't accept

And oh, I don't forget (No, I don't forget)

No, no

No, no, I feel heartless

You make me feel heartless

It crawls under my skin (under my skin)

It's infecting (It's infecting)

Everything I used to know

Things that felt safe before

Are turned on their heads (They're turned on their heads)

No, no

No, no, I feel heartless

How are you this heartless?

I can't trust myself and

Now I'm reeling (I'm reeling)

I don't want to be this way

Wanna accept, walk away

No, no
