Black Hearts

Dirty street and dirty hands

A broken kid and a helpless man

All that they know given the barren land

A storefront clerk told me, "Walk away,

You need not live this life of shame."

I said, "Hold on my friend, for you will find a way."

You cannot break it, love will help you make it

Don't throw yourself in a burning fire

And when you come home, singing all your sad songs

Why don't you leave it in the water

For the friends and all the lovers tonight

Turning back I want to leave it again

Losing track I want to leave it again, leave it again

I'm running out

Alright

So tell me what's you weight in gold

Will it amount to what you made when the story's told, no

Don't turn your head, let all the people know

You cannot break it, love will help you make it

Don't throw yourself in a burning fire

And when you come home, singing all your sad songs

Why don't you leave it in the water

For the friends and all the lovers tonight

And when you feel like you're alone and no one's by your side

Open your hands, open your heart, and open your eyes

Although the flame is out, the answers have been left behind

So don't pretend you understand what you have yet to find

It's alright, yeah it's alright, c'mon

You cannot break it, love will help you make it

Don't throw yourself in a burning fire

And when you come home, singing all your sad songs

Why don't you leave it in the water

You cannot break it, love will help you make it

Don't throw yourself in a burning fire

And when you come home, singing all your sad songs

Why don't you leave it in the water

For the friends and all the lovers tonight
