I’ve got two hands to cling to yours One heart to try to fit it in But the hinges got broken And it’s all spilling out My left heart is what I’m left with now The right one has gotten too full Unclaimed baggage, misused words We can see this out though, it’s the milk or the cow Everything’s just gotten too blurred
I can only love you with my left heart It’s the only one they could restart If god has a right hand that’s righteous and strong Then the left one was what became of man You’ll get what remains, first love’s scraps Forgotten from past romance
Because no one’s as good as those books from your shelf Like birds of a feather, we flock together But somehow we’ve all fooled ourselves And no one’s as good, like you wish them to be Throw another line out, another fish in the sea Press together your hands, another prayer to plea Because nothings as good as it seems
If my right heart was a lion This one might as well just be a sheep Does that make you a wolf with shiny white teeth? Don’t pull the wool over my eyes I want to see you when you bite We can stay in this heart together It’s cramped and it’s tight. I am yours, you’re not mine I tried to hang on, but your grip, it felt light My left I guess is smaller than my right
You can have this left heart if you want Let me borrow that knife you’re hiding And I’ll scrawl in your name Just don’t **** me and try to love me This is my last one, ***** this up and I’m done I’d just be blood and bone And no one wants to see what they’ve sown
