I've got a human heart,
And it tends to break
So here's what I'm gonna do,
I'll replace it with something new

I want a clockwork heart,
Made with coils and gears,
Because maybe then,
I won't shed these tears

If I'm wired with oil,
And not flesh and blood,
Would I be happier then,
Or would it hurt just as much?

Oh, I want a clockwork heart,
I want precision and grace,
I want to chase the stars,
I want a memory drive I can erase

Because these memories of you,
Never cease to hurt me,
But with a clockwork heart....
Couldn't I make you see?

I want a clockwork heart.
