Hurts Like Heaven

Written in graffiti on a bridge in a park
Do you ever get the feeling that you're missing the mark?
It's so cold, it's so cold
It's so cold, it's so cold
Written up in marker on a factory sign
I struggle with the feeling that my life isn't mine
It's so cold, it's so cold
It's so cold, it's so cold
See the arrow that they shot
Trying to tear us apart
Take the fire from my belly and the beat from my heart
Still, I won't let go
Still, I won't let go
Of you, oh-oh
'Cause you do
Oh, you use your heart as a weapon
And it hurts like heaven
On every street, every car, every surface are names
Tonight the streets are ours, and we're writing and saying
Don't let em take control
No, we won't let em take control
Yes, I feel a little bit nervous
Yes, I feel nervous and I cannot relax
How come they're out to get us?
How come they're out when they don't know the facts?
So on a concrete canvas under cover of dark
On a concrete canvas I'll go making my mark
Armed with a spray can soul
I'll be armed with a spray can soul
And you, oh-oh
You, oh-oh
You use your heart as a weapon
And it hurts like heaven
Woah, oh-oh-oh, woah oh-oh-oh
Yeah, it's true
When you
Use your heart as a weapon
Then it hurts like heaven
And it hurts like heaven
Oh-oh, oh-oh
