This Heart

in a big bright room
with x-rays blasting through
it took an hour or two
they had bad news
there’s something with my heart
they saw it on the charts
it’s weak and it’s too small
always has been
got a broken heart
that’s for sure
it’s no metaphor
they told me to come back
to check up and keep track
of this useless piece of crap
in my chest
yeah it could stop tonight
but darling that’s alright
because it’s no-ones fault
and it’s nothing we can do
i just want you to have my boston red sox tee
got a broken heart
oh for sure
it’s no metaphor
this heart beats for you
for my friends and my family
it works so and so
but it’s beating for all of you
this heart beats for you
for my darling especially
it works so and so
but it’s beating because of you
