New heart

You left your coat on the back of my chair Loose thread hanging like your last little dare Said you were tired of fixing my cracks Door slammed twice But you never looked back I need a new heart This one folds when it’s touched Beats too fast Breaks too much I need a new heart Something quiet Something strong That doesn’t call your name Every time it turns on Friends say time is a medicine shelf But all these bottles just look like yourself Your coffee cup still stains my sink Your ghost shows up every time I blink I need a new heart This one folds when it’s touched Beats too fast Breaks too much I need a new heart Something quiet Something strong That doesn’t call your name Every time it turns on Is there a line Where you trade in what’s broken? Do they give you a spine For the words left unspoken? If I sign my name On the scar you gave me Can I walk away From the way you still save me? oh I need a new heart This one folds when it’s touched Beats too fast Breaks too much I need a new heart One that doesn’t burn like this Doesn’t shake when I hear your song I need a new heart Till then I’ll fake being strong
