My heart
Precious Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So typical my heart
And here I am again
In envy of your will to leave me behind
We watched the city fall - it couldn't save our love
The death of my trust, eclipsed by tragedy
No need to cut me open,
I died of a broken heart,
Ashen grey and cold,
My mirror turned to stone
As your footsteps fade - await the final wave,




Too caught up in my game I watched you walk away
Tragedy won't distract your heart
