Metal 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.
I wish I had a metal heart
I could cross the line
I wish that I was half as good
As you think I am
But now that we know for sure they're telling lies when they say
No one gets hurt and therefore nobody dies
You know it's hard to believe anything that you hear
They say the world is round
Wish I was as big as you
You'd have to tell the truth
I'd be nothing you could hurt
Nothing you could use
But now that we know for sure they're telling lies when they say
No one gets hurt and therefore nobody dies
You know it's hard to believe anything that you hear
They say the world is round
The world is round?
I want to be dependable, I want to be courageous and good
I want to be faithful so that I can be heroic and true
I want to be a friend you can rely on you can lean on and trust
I want to understand so I can forgive and be willing to love
I wish I wasn't flesh and blood
I would not be scared
Of bullets built with me in mind
For then I could be saved
My sweet lord take care of me for I think I'm done
Kiss my mother on her cheek and lay my burden down
But now that we know for sure they're telling lies when they say
No one gets hurt and therefore nobody dies
You know it's hard to believe anything that you hear
They say the world is round
The world is round?
The world is round?!
