lyrics

I've got a heart of bad stiches and tape.
No matter how you hold it, it wont seem to stay in place.
Pieces keep slipping everyday.
I better pick them up and hope with good luck I can keep them tucked away.

Words so pretty and vague.
Words that confuse me but convince me to stay.
With all these thoughts I lie awake
And if you wanna give in just call I'll bring myself no matter how late

No I'm not a robot, not a perfect Casanova. All I know is I don't wanna go home all alone
Left with these teary eyes and a heart that weighs a ton
Oh and all the while you think it's improved since the last time
Oh and all the while you think it's improved since the last time

Oh your hands are tied, my eyes are wide awake
Oh your hands are tied, my eyes are wide awake
Oh your hands are tied and my eyes are wide awake
