mederma for the heart

There're some things I'd like to change-

Some things I need to rearrange.

Things like my heart, my mind,

My whole **** life.

 

They need some tweaking,

Some fixing up,

But I don't know what went wrong.

 

I made it up as I went along;

I had no plan to follow.

Now I'm empty and hollow

And looking for something

To fill me up inside.

 

My head knows what I need,

But my heart refuses to believe.

I don't know how to make me better,

I only know I feel bound and fettered

By the choices I've made,

The things left unsaid,

And the things I've said too much.

 

They're killing me.

 

'Cause I can't take them back,

Or hit rewind and fix it.

I just have to build on top of it,

And, man, that's so hard-

To forget all the things

That make life so rough,

And act like they never happened;

 

To just keep on going

Like I never made that mistake,

Like it never cut me to the bone,

Like it didn't leave a scar.

 

It's too bad they don't make Mederma for the heart.
