My Heart

[Verse 1]
When you laughed at my plan
And you mocked all my words
I knew then you were worse, you'd forgotten to love

[Refrain]
In your hands, in your hands, my heart

[Verse 2]
And the sun was unclean
And the morning the same
Contorting in the dark
In the bedroom you made
A fuss of the stars, too bright for your eyes

[Refrain]
In your hands, my heart

[Verse 3]
And the morning's your curse
And the sun still unwashed
Oh, we loved till it hurt
It was crushing me, love
In the night, I knew was the last

[Refrain]
In your hands, in your hands, my heart

[Verse 4]
And, of course, you went there
Like vertigo on a bridge
The river drunk howling like dogs
And I, running on fumes, spat flames till it scarred you
"Fall away! Go! Find your escape route!"

[Refrain]
In your hands, in your hands, my heart

[Verse 5]
When you sheltered yourself
And cut off the phone
Well, I knew then you weren't hurt
You've forgotten how to love

[Verse 6]
Oh the artist shall suffer
'Cause he's scratching his back
Till there's blood in his nails
Well you make yourself ill with the lies that you tell

[Refrain]
Still, in your hands, in your hands, my heart
My heart, my heart, my heart
