lyrics

Heart Like a Tap

My heart is leaking inside, soon it will fill me
I'd turn it off like a tap if it were that easy
It's up past the lump in my throat, and it keeps on rising
It only recedes when my thoughts are distracted from you

First I felt it burn in my hands but I could ignore it
Then I felt it choke up my lungs till I thought I'd die
When it finally gets to my head will it push my eyes out?
Or will I just cry and greet the new day resolved to forget you?

I sat bolt upright last night to shake off the feeling
That I had a mountain of stone lying on top of me
I opened my hands once or twice but they'd turned to concrete
I went for a walk took some pills and went back to sleep

I can control how I feel most of the time now
I think I'm beginning to feel that I could be right
But if I'd not sedated myself would I have stopped breathing?
Would I have survived to greet the new day resolved to forget you?
It's harder and harder to know if I should forget you
The sky's red tonight so I might resolve to forget you
