Your Beaten Heart

So there were challenges you couldn't handle
Guess your grip wasn't as tight as your bitterness
So it's come to this
Now you defense is most offensive
You claim the ones you avoided never talk to you
Yeah, well where were you?

You know your eyes are empty
Your lips they barely move
You know your beaten heart ain't beating hard
It beat it outta you

The lies they pile on others
The web it strangles you
You know your beaten heart ain't beating hard
It beat it outta you

So there you're hanging onto air
Thinner than your glare, gasping for a breath
Fighting old despair
Blueprints for happiness you played to a T
Turned green with the greed that snuck right into you
And gave you the blues

So now you're out to avenge yourself
Shove your hand to shake, but that grip it quakes
It's too used to faking it
Does your safety net have holes?
Do you wish you at least had foes?
Do you even know your name anymore?
