If my heart had a heart

It would show me some mercy

Wouldn't be so cold and cruel

No it wouldn't keep hurtin' me

It wouldn't make it this hard

It wouldn't do me this way

It would cut me some slack, have my back

It would give me a break.

If my heart had a heart

It would go out and leave me alone

It'd stop havin' a mind of its own

Let me forget you and let me let go

It would stop hangin' on

It would finally put this to rest

Instead of puttin' this stake in my chest

Oh no it wouldn't tear me apart.

If my heart had a heart

It wouldn't still sing

Every time that I see you

Someone says your name

I wouldn't still want you

No I'd be okay.

If my heart had a heart

It would go out and leave me alone

It'd stop havin' a mind of its own

Let me forget you and let me let go

It would stop hangin' on

It would finally put this to rest

Instead of puttin' this stake in my chest

Oh no it wouldn't tear me apart.

If my heart had a heart, oh-oh...

Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh...

If my heart had a heart

It'd stop breakin' in two

It would stop lovin' you.

If my heart had a heart

It would go out and leave me alone

It'd stop havin' a mind of its own

Let me forget you and let me let go

It would stop hangin' on

It would finally put this to rest

Instead of puttin' this stake in my chest

Oh no it wouldn't tear me apart.

If my heart had a heart, oh-oh...

Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh...

If my heart had a heart, mmh...
