There's a hot hard hurt Burnin' under her skin And it pricks her like thorns And it's needles and pins And it twists in her body And I know what it is
And I'm paying in pain It's the cost of the high Till the weight of the secret And the weight of the lie Makes my heart want to bust Feel the ache as time goes by Getting better and worse Getting better and worse And there's a screw that I tighten As I dream of the kiss And it twists and it cuts me And y'know what it is? It's a fragment of love From a splintering heart It tears her apart, yeaaah Not as much as this
So you save up your tears For the moments alone Till the splinters you gather Leave you glass-hard and numb And the same sun is shining On the old and the young, yeaaah On the saints and the sinners On the weak and the strong, yeaaah
There's a burning and freezing And a cross for a kiss So she learns to stop dreaming And you know how it is With fragments of love And this splintering heart And this splintering heart With the fragments With the fragments |
