Lyrics
Black 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.
Something wicked this way comes
I move a little closer
Instincts say run
Eyes like midnight
Lips like a crime
I wonder if I’ll make it out alive this time
Close my eyes I just play dead
A knife into my heart
Just like a bullet to my head
She lays me down
Into a shallow grave
The life she takes
Will be the life she saves
She’ll never hear these words
She’ll never hear when I say
I love you
But you don’t want me
If I made you cry
Would you still haunt me?
You turned making love
Into a black art
And now you’ve turned my heart of gold
Into a black heart
Darkness falls
I can hear the rain
She digs her fingers in my heart again
Her skin so white
She looks like the snow
I try to escape
But there’s nowhere to go
She pays no attention
She captures my soul
The more she ignores me
The more she controls
Three little words from between my lips
Love me forever
She’ll never hear these words
She’ll never hear when I say
I love you
But you don’t want me
If I made you cry
Would you still haunt me?
You turned making love
Into a black art
And now you’ve turned my heart of gold
Into a black heart
I can love
I can feel
Never trust
Never real
All the words
All the ways
All the lies
All the days
I can see
The bitter end
I wonder
And she pretends
I can love
She can’t see
She can’t love
A man like me
I love you
But you don’t want me
If I made you cry
Would you still haunt me?
You turned making love
Into a black art
And now you’ve turned my heart of gold
Into a black heart
