Elastic Heart
Lauren Spencer-Smith Lyrics

And another one bites the dust
Another person has left me, as I struggle to find love and make relationships work.

Oh, why can I not conquer love?
Despite my efforts, I can't seem to make love happen for me and in my life.

And I might′ve thought that we were one
I believed that my relationship was strong and that we were united together.

Wanted to fight this war without weapons
I hoped that love could be something that we pursued and fought for without needing to hurt each other or rely on external things.

And I wanted it, I wanted it bad
I had a strong desire to experience love and hold on to it in my life.

But there were so many red flags
Despite my desire, there were warning signs and red flags in my relationships that I couldn't ignore or neglect.

Now another one bites the dust
Another relationship or connection has ended and I'm left picking up the pieces again.

Yeah, let's be clear, I′ll trust no one
After experiencing disappointment and heartache with love, I am finding it difficult to trust anyone in my life.

You did not break me
Despite the pain and difficulty of love and relationships, I am still standing strong and resilient.

I'm still fighting for peace
I am continuing to pursue peace and happiness in my life, despite the struggles and challenges of love and relationships.

Well, I've got thick skin and an elastic heart
I am tough and resilient, but also capable of being flexible and adapting to challenges and pain in life.

But your blade, it might be too sharp
While I am tough and resilient, there are still things that can hurt me and push me past my limits.

I′m like a rubber band until you pull too hard
I am flexible and adaptable, but still have a limit to how far I can be pulled or pushed in life.

Yeah, I may snap and I move fast
When pushed too far, I am capable of breaking and moving on from the pain and struggles in my life quickly.

You won′t see me fall apart
Despite the challenges and difficulties in my life, I am capable of keeping it together and not showing weakness or breaking down.

'Cause I′ve got an elastic heart
My resilience and ability to adapt and recover comes from having a strong and flexible heart that can handle the challenges of life.

And I will stay up through the night
Even through the long and difficult nights, I am capable of staying strong and not giving up on my dreams and desires.

Yeah, let′s be clear, won't close my eyes
I am determined to stay awake and alert, not letting anything escape my attention or dreams.

And I know that I can survive
Despite the challenges and difficulties in my life, I am capable of surviving and thriving.

I′ll walk through fire to save my life
I am willing to go through the worst and most difficult situations, fighting to protect and save my own life.

It's hard to lose the chosen one
It's difficult and painful to lose someone that we believe was chosen or meant for us in life.

I′m doing everything that I can
Despite the pain and struggle of love, I am still doing everything in my power to make it work and find happiness.

Oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, ooh, whoa
N/A

No-no, no, no
N/A

I′ve got thick skin and an elastic heart
I am both tough and flexible, allowing me to handle the challenges of life with strength and resilience.

I′ve got an elastic heart
My heart is able to handle the challenges and pain of life, without breaking or losing hope.
