Cast your mind back to the days,
When I'd pretend I was OK
I had so very much to say,
About my crazy livin'
Now that I've stared into the void,
So many people, I've annoyed
I have to find a middle way,
A better way of giving

So I haven't given up,
But all my choices, my good luck
Appear to go and get me stuck,
In an open prison
Now I am tryin' to break free,
Be in a state of empathy
Find the true and inner me,
Eradicate the schism

No-one can take it away from me,
And no-one can tear it apart
Because a heart that hurts,
Is a heart that works
A heart that hurts,
Is a heart that works

A heart that hurts,
Is a heart that works
No-one can take it away from me,
No-one can tear it apart
Maybe an elaborate fantasy,
But it's the perfect place to start

Because a heart that hurts,
Is a heart that works
A heart that hurts,
Is a heart that works
