I never understood the sound of a heartbeat
the relentless BA-bum, BA-bum, BA-bum
so draining and grating it makes me numb
BA-Bum, BA-bum, BA-bum
until we finally succumb
I never understood how people die of a broken heart
the break is not physical
it is not actual
it is not real
it is just how you feel
right?
I never understood why love was a two-way street
shouldn't it be a fork in the road converging
becoming one-way once we finally meet?
but that was because I only saw my side
I had know idea how our paths were going to collide
And I still never understood the sound of a heartbeat
of all the beats why two?
I never understood it
that is... until I met you
Because you were the second beat
that puzzled me for so long
You were the second beat
that kept me going strong
you were that up beat
to my favorite song
and you are the second beat
that made my heart belong
and now as a widower
I never heard that second beat
a murmur it had become,
until I saw her again
on the day of my death
went the Vitals screen went
BA....BA.... BA.... buuuuummm
