Heart Attack

Two doves lying dead

side by side on the cement

two doves didn't know what hit'em

as they flew into their reflections

and you're a reflection

of what I could have been

I've crashed into that glass

and now I'm bleeding from within

well this wouldn't be the first time

I've been hit this hard

and it won't be the last

that's for sure

well I'm living proof

no matter how hard you try

you can't get it perfect

the first time

so take two, take three

it's a crash of many casualties

take nine, take ten

I just want this heart attack to end

well I ponder the moment

and I start to cry

I ignore my own feelings

and I don't know why

if you'll take my past, you might understand

and I'll take you aside

and I'll take your hand

but you do not blame me

for what I didn't request

I didn't ask for control

I didn't ask for the rest

I told you I loved you

but is that what you heard?

you saw contrived escape

and empty words

so take two, take three

what you get is what you see

take nine, take ten

I just want this heart attack to end

well I am thinking

in straight lines

and I am walking

with blinders on my eyes

and I am talking

in circles

oh I should have long ago

overcome these obstacles

I should have

so two doves lying dead

side by side on the cement

two doves didn't know what hit'em

as they flew into their reflections

and there are many complications

but only one life

still one of these days I'm bound to get it right

get it right

so take two, take three

no one said it would be easy

take nine, take ten

I just want this heart attack to end
