[Intro]
Ooh, ooh
Mmm
[Verse 1]
If I coulda laid low
I would be creeping 'round the streets
Avoiding all the busy main roads
And keep an ounce of dignity
And if I coulda stayed home
I would've slept through everything
Turn off my phone and breathe the silence
Stay in the comfort zone of me
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause, nobody lies in their bed
Nobody's heart gets broken
Nobody cries in there, but I ain't going in
[Chorus]
When I don't speak
Weak and hollow heartbeats
Leaking through my heart seam
Body sells me out, sells me out
So I keep this deep and shallow heartbeat
Under my control
And you will never see me weak
And you will never hear my heartbeat
Never hear my heartbeat
Never hear my heartbeat
Never hear my heartbeat
Ooh Beat
[Verse 2]
If I never met you
I would be busy with my life
Going to work and still be happy
I will be sleeping through the nights
And if I could forget you
I would go back and look for parts
For patching up my broken heart
And I would shut my aching eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause nobody shouts at their friends
Nobody wants forgiveness
Nobody doubts in there, but I ain't giving in
[Chorus]
When I don't speak
Weak and hollow heartbeats
Leaking from my heart seam
Body sells me out, sells me out
So I keep this deep and shallow heartbeat
Under my control
And you will never see me weak
And you will never hear my heartbeat
Never hear my heartbeat
Never hear my heartbeat
Never hear my heartbeat, beat, beat
[Bridge]
If I keep it down
Just focus
I'm invisible
'Cause when there is no sound
I know where I belong
I will be okay
[Chorus]
When I don't speak
Weak and hollow heartbeats Heartbeats
Leaking from my heart seam
Body sells me out, sells me out No, no, no
So I keep this deep and shallow heartbeat
Under my control Under my control
And you will never see me weak No
You will never hear my heartbeat My heartbeat
Never hear my heartbeat Never hear my heartbeat
Never hear my heartbeat Heartbeat
Never hear my heartbeat, beat, beat Ooh
[Outro]
Heartbeat, my heartbeat
Oh-oh
