Faouzia explained the origin behind “Born Without A Heart” at a concert while performing “Born Without A Heart (Stripped),” saying:
I wanted to put myself in someone else’s shoes and kind of take the perspective of “You’ve taken it all, you’ve taken all you can and you’ve kind of just become numb a...
[Verse 1]
I'm an angel, tell me what you mean by that
I take it all and I will never give it back
I don't feel sorry every time I see you cry
Every time you start, I'm waiting for your tears to dry
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't really care, and I never will
That's the way I am, such a bitter pill
I don't really care, how my silence kills
That's the way I am
[Chorus]
No, I wasn't born without a heart, I wasn't always like this, no
Watched you break me, no
Now you blame me
No, I wasn't born with all these scars
And that's what made me like this, no
Can you blame me? No (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
I'm a nightmare, I know what you mean by that
I can't wake up from all these scary dreams I have
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't really care, and I never will
That's the way I am, such a bitter pill
I don't really care, how my silence kills
That's the way I am
[Chorus]
No, I wasn't born without a heart, I wasn't always like this, no
Watched you break me, no
Now you blame me
No, I wasn't born with all these scars
And that's what made me like this, no
Can you blame me? No (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
[Bridge]
I wasn't born like this
Hurt people, hurt people
I'd rather be heartless
Than have my heart in pieces
[Chorus]
No, I wasn't born without a heart, I wasn't always like this, no
Watched you break me, no
Now you blame me
No, I wasn't born with all these scars
And that's what made me like this, no
Can you blame me? No (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
