Bleeding Heart

“Bleeding heart” I lived with my head above the crowd Couldn’t hear the cries, even if they Screamed out loud There’s something about being naïve No matter the lie, I will always believe I fell into their words, lost in my story The pain was real, I faked the glory (Chorus) All I’m left with is a bleeding heart Took a breath, fell apart Realized what life I was leading I’ve got a bleeding heart Push me back together I’ll still fall apart Could you blame me, if I liked it this way? Put on the mask, a character in the play Marching to my own drum, Dancing to the hum of the rest I’m falling again, Shouldn’t have Ignored the warnings back then (Chorus) All I’m left with is a bleeding heart Took a breath, fell apart Realized what life I was leading I’ve got a bleeding heart Push me back together I’ll still fall apart I lived with my head above the crowd Couldn’t hear the cries Even if they screamed out loud Been cut down to size Living with a bleeding heart I realize, I’ll never fit the mold Never be the part All I got, was this bleeding heartThis is about how I felt when I was younger. Always trying to fit in, but never actually able to. And now looking back, I realize fitting in with someone else's mold is nothing. Fitting in your own skin is everything.
