Heart In Hand

They keep playing those lullabies
That she'll never understand
She faces every waking day
With her heart in hand

Disguised as love at first sight
Was a thief in the day
It doesn't take her by surprise
But it takes her breath away

Eeach heartbeat tempts her to
Abandon her will to survive
Twisted irony in the knowing
It's what's keeping her alive

She bleeds tears of scarlet
That dissolve into debt
She wills for the moments
For the time that she's wept

They keep playing those lullabies
That she'll never comprehend
She looks up to the endless skies
Wonders if it'll ever end
