Chrome

It's not the things that I can't change that bother me
And it's not the things that I don't know that undermine me
It's not the thing that I can't hold, or the balancing wire that broke, that throws me
It's not the fact that you walked out that bewilders me
It's not the sleep that I can't steal that wires me
It's not the coffee or the pills, it's not this space that I can't fill, that kills me

Well in case you didn't know
I've got a heart made of chrome
It's been bent till it was twisted
And in case you didn't know
I've got a heart made of chrome
It's been burned but it's still willing to try
And shine

It's not the drunks and their devices that provoke me
And it's not the politics of love and distance and all that that shit evokes in me
It's not the Sunday morning fights, or this soul on ice, that numbs me
And it's not the passing of another indian summer that saddens me
It's not the shutter in the undertow that bears down on me
It's not everything ending as it began, or the loneliness that grins, that destroys me

Well in case you didn't know
I've got a heart made of chrome
It's been bent till it was twisted
And in case you didn't know
I've got a heart made of chrome
It's been burned but it's still willing to try
And shine
And shine
