Oh heart
Please forgive me for giving you away
I though you and I had found a safe place
To stay forever
Oh heartDidn't know he wouldn't handle you with care
Drop and break you into pieces everywhere
Just give me time to put us back together
Oh, I can't tell you when (but)
Oh, we are gonna mend
You do your part I'll do mine
And we will make it through the night
If you just keep beating, I'll keep breathing.
Oh heart
What I could do if tears would turn to glue
I'd fix you up and we could love like new
If you wanted to
But that's just wishful thinking
Chorus
We can make it, just stay with me, you keep beating, I'll keep breathing
We can make it, just stay with me, you keep beating, I'll keep breathing
Oh heart, Oh heart
He broke me, when he broke you
You were wreckless, I was a fool
But as long as I can still feel you
We can make it, just stay with me, you keep beating, I'll keep breathing

Oh heart
Dear heart
Please forgive me for giving you away
I apologize for letting someone else have control over you
I thought you and I had found a safe place
I believed we had discovered a secure and lasting refuge
To stay forever
To remain eternally
Didn't know he wouldn't handle you with care
I was unaware that he would be rough and careless with you
Drop and break you into pieces everywhere
Causing you to shatter into fragments scattered all around
Just give me time to put us back together
Please grant me the opportunity to mend us
Oh, I can't tell you when (but)
I cannot specify the exact moment (but)
Oh, we are gonna mend
But we will undoubtedly heal
You do your part I'll do mine
If you continue pumping, I will continue living
And we will make it through the night
Together, we will endure the darkness
If you just keep beating, I'll keep breathing.
As long as you continue to pulse, I will continue to draw breath
Oh heart
Dear heart
What I could do if tears would turn to glue
Imagine the possibilities if tears had the power to mend
I'd fix you up and we could love like new
I would repair you, and we could experience a renewed love
If you wanted to
If that is what you desired
But that's just wishful thinking
However, it is merely hopeful speculation
We can make it, just stay with me, you keep beating, I'll keep breathing
We have the capacity to overcome this, if you remain steadfast, I will continue to survive
He broke me, when he broke you
He shattered me when he caused you harm
You were reckless, I was a fool
You were impulsive, and I was foolish
But as long as I can still feel you
However, as long as I can still sense your presence
We can make it, just stay with me, you keep beating, I'll keep breathing
We have the strength to overcome this together, if you continue to pulse, I will continue to breathe
