Cast your mind back to the days,

When I pretend' I was ok.

I had so very much to say,

About my crazy livin'.

Now that I've stared into the void,

So many people, I've annoyed.

I have to find a middle way,

A better way of givin'.

So I haven't given up,

But all my choices, my good luck...

Appear to go and get me stuck,

In an open prison.

Now I am tryin' to break free,

Be in a state of empathy.

Find the true and inner me,

Eradicate this schism.

No-one can take it away from me,

And no-one can tear it apart.

'cause a heart that hurts,

Is a heart that works.

A heart that hurts,

Is a heart that works.

A heart that hurts,

Is a heart that works.

No-one can take it away from me,

No-one can tear it apart.

It may be elaborate fantasy,

But it's the perfect place to start.

'cause a heart that hurts,

Is a heart that works.

A heart that hurts,

Is a heart that... works...
