Lyrics
If I Only Had A Heart
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He should be on his mettle
And yet i'm torn apart
Just because i'm presumin' that i could be kind of human
If i only had a heart
I'd be tender, i'd be gentle
And awful sentimental regarding love and art
I'd be friends with the arrows
And the boy who shoots the sparrows
If i only had a heart
Picture me a balcony
Above a voice sings low
"wherefore art thou romeo?"
I hear a beat, how sweet
Just to register emotion, jealousy, devotion
And really feel the part
I could stay young and chipper
And i'd lock it with a zipper
If i only had a heart
A brain, a home, the nerve
