Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Here's to the corners yet to turn

Here's to the bridges yet to burn

Here's to the whole thing blown apart

It's open season on my heart

[Verse 2]

The days go by like flying bricks

Leave gaping holes, too deep to fix

I'd just stay home if I were smart

It's open season on my heart

[Bridge]

I can't blame anyone but me

For this reckless fool I've come to be

My tired excuses just don't fit

It don't look good from where I sit

[Verse 3]

I've tried to change without much luck

I reach a point where I get stuck

I hit the streets and the fireworks start

It's open season on my heart

[Bridge]

I can't be something that I'm not

I can't give what I haven't got

I don't know where, or why, or when

I only know the shape I'm in

[Verse 4]

Here's to the clown down in the mouth

Here's to the whole thing going south

My own true love's turned poison dart

And it's open season on my heart

[Outro]

Here's turning heartaches into art

It's open season on my heart
