“The World is a Marble Heart” by AJR is the tenth song of their album “Living Room”. It expresses the frustrations of jealousy after a break up. A cynical tone is used throughout the lyrics of this song, depicting the world as a cruel and harsh place.
[Verse 1]
The world is a marble heart
Too fragile, too broken
Left without nothing but our bags to hold on to
Yeah out in the daylight
And out of the jungle
We could have been, we should have been
What your heart couldn't handle
[Pre-Chorus]
Feel like I need, to forget you
Run away girl, 'cause I let you
Now you found some other man, you see
I'm better off without you, 'cause the man ain't me!
[Chorus]
(My oh my) I'm going right now
(Right all right) To the beginning
(Why oh why) What you denied from the start
(My oh my) And now you can't go breaking my heart, yeah
(Right all right) Woah-waa-ooh
(Why oh why) And now you can't go breaking my heart
[Verse 2]
The world is a marble heart;
It's bullshit and we know it
Like a flower sheltered in stone
With no chance of re-growing
Like push comes to shove
Like I'm out on your doorstep
We could have been, we should have been
With only my soul left
[Pre-Chorus]
Feel like I need (woah), to forget you
Run away girl, 'cause I let you
Now you found some other man, you see
I'm better off without you, 'cause the man ain't me!
[Chorus]
(My oh my) I'm going right now
(Right all right) To the beginning
(Why oh why) What you denied from the start
(My oh my) And now you can't go breaking my heart, yeah
(Right all right) Woah- waa -ooh
(Why oh why) And now you can't go breaking my heart
[Turntablism]
(H-heart h-heart)
Now you can't go breaking my heart (h-heart h-heart)
Now you can't go breaking my heart, ooh
(Bre-bre-bre) breaking my heart
And now you, now you can't go breaking
Now you can't go breaking my heart
[Bridge]
Feel like I need, to forget you
Run away girl, 'cause I let you
Now you found some other man, you see
Now you found some other man, you see
I'm better off without you, 'cause the man ain't...
[Chorus]
Now you can't go breaking my heart
(My oh my) I'm going back now
(Right all right) To the beginning
(Why oh why) What you denied from the start
(My oh my) And now you can't go breaking my heart, yeah
(Right all right) Woah
(Why oh why) And now you can't go breaking my heart
