Here is a heart, here is a heart
I made it for you so take it
Battered and braised, grilled and sautรฉed
Just how you like it, like it
You know I live to fill you up
Blood of my blood, dripping with love
I bring you a thing you need most
Silent between supplies and machines
I hang in the corners like a ghost
You know I live to be seen through
No better way that I can see
To spend all the time while you're asleep
When holding your hands inside of mine
I wanna be here and nowhere else
Rationing off bits of myself
So I can crumble at your side
ย
Sleep like the dead through the noise in your head
While monitors click and whirr and glow
I'm with you all day and I still would stay
Tomorrow and onward just this close
You know I live to keep you safe, oh
No better way that I can see
To spend all the time while you're asleep
When holding your hands inside of mine
I wanna be here and nowhere else
Rationing off bits of myself
So I can crumble at your side
ย
I can't explain it but I have to try
If you evaporate, the seas will rise
'Til they devour the sky
ย
Here is a heart, here is a heart
I made it for you so take it
Battered and braised, grilled and sautรฉed
Just how you like it, like it
No better way that I can see
To spend all the time while you're asleep
When holding your hands inside of mine
I wanna be here and nowhere else
Rationing off bits of myself
So I can crumble at your side
