the heart is a muscle
Singer:gang of youths
break me off a piece of that
and mix it in with a little wine
with someone warm and smart
with a heart in first and a soul behind
there will be no years of silence in the shadow of regret
i won't let it so betray me
though my soul got used to it
i will look at love as more than just an instrument of pain
and will give myself completely to the moving and the strange
i will not spend the years depleted of my willingness to try
it won't hurt this way forever
it ain't worth the overtime
i'm not looking for redemption nor some shallow kind of bliss
lay me down and kiss me deeply
show me everything i missed
i will not hurt like this forever
i'm responding to the call
while there's speakers in the outfield
blasting out my favourite song
i will not play this out discreetly
i am human now and terrified
and i wanna make it strong
the heart is a muscle now
i let bad love betray me once
but i was barely outta high school then
and i guess i fear the same results
that none will take me as i am
so tuck my hair behind my ears and touch my soul again
and i just ask you to be patient if you'll have me still
the heart is a muscle now
the heart is a muscle now
