If you're going to keep my heart
Just take my body too
This heaping measly bag of bones
Is what I've worn down to
Every sense I had to feel
I gave them all to you
That brain does all the thinking
Thinking thoughts of you
Those ears only play tricks on me
In silence I hear you
This touch that once explored your frame
I find reaching out to you
That nose that longed to brush your cheek
Now smells only your perfume
Those eyes the window deep into
The only one thing I can't get back from you
I know I'm in rags
But I gave all that I had
And I'm finding myself senseless

If you're going to keep my heart
Just take my body too
This heaping measly bag of bones
Is what I've worn down to
Every sense I had to feel
I gave them all to you
That brain does all the thinking
Thinking thoughts of you
Those ears only play tricks on me
In silence I hear you
This touch that once explored your frame
I find reaching out to you
That nose that longed to brush your cheek
Now smells only your perfume
Those eyes the window deep into
The only one thing I can't get back from you
I know I'm in rags
But I gave all that I had
And I'm finding myself senseless
