Portable 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.
Today was hard but I've made my way
And I've found the strength to say
That I don't belong and I'm holding on
And I smile, I yawn, I play along
But all I know by now
Is you don't belong and I'm holding on
You know I really can't take this place
I've got to shuffle up all this scenery around me
I'm never finishing what I started
Oh I was born with a portable heart
There was a flight that left tonight
And lived for the dawn that I should've been on
Cause I could've been gone and asleep already
You know I really can't take this place
I've got to shuffle up all this scenery around me
I'm never finishing what I started
Oh I was born with a portable heart
Oh I was born with a portable heart
You know I really can't take this place
I've got to shuffle up all this scenery around me
I'm never finishing what I started
Oh I was born with a portable heart
Oh I was born with a portable heart
Don't you know I was born with a portable heart
I was born with a portable heart
I smile, I yawn, I play my song
But all I know by heart
Is that I don't belong
