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 was same Contorting in the dark And 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 That river drunk howling like dogs And I'm 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've forgotten how to love back Oh the artist shall suffer 'Cause he's scratching his back Till there's blood on his nails Will you make yourself ill with the lies that you tell Still, in your hands, in your hands, my heart My heart, my heart, my heart
