You had a tiny, little heart that let you down. One that beat to its own rhythm, slightly off, tucked away in your chest as it was. You had a tiny, little heart that let you down. I remember it as you lay asleep across me, never slowing. You had a tiny, little heart that let you down. It burnt bright and then quickly out; quiet now upon the hospital bed. You had a tiny, little heart that let you down. The rest of you was perfect.
