My Heart
That Joe Payne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My heart is a life
It beats like a knife
It's cold as steel
But there's a fire inside

I'm only let loose
When egos are bruised
Feeling under attack
I'll help with that
I've got your back

I'll give you my heart
I'll give you my heart

So let's play a game
My heart can't be tamed
Our fate is in your hands
So take your aim

But don't be deceived
Cos what you believe
Isn't the only truth
The blame's on you
You always knew that

Baby
My heart is a weapon
A ticket to heaven
It'll teach you a lesson
You're a fool if you
Play with my heart

Come play with my heart

My heart's built to kill
It carries no guilt
I'm just a tool
Where innocent blood's been spilled

No, I'm not afraid
They'll take me away
Somebody likes me here
Choose love or money, dear
Whatever pays

Cos baby
My heart is a weapon
A ticket to heaven
It'll teach you a lesson
You're a fool if you
Play with my heart

It's a killer
The clown in a thriller
You go down, I'll go with ya
Cos we're through
Once I give you my heart

And I'll give you my heart

So baby, whenever you're low
I'll be there, ready
Finger, trigger, blow
Just reach in your pocket
You know I can stop it
All of the pain in your heart
Come play with my heart

Baby
My heart is a weapon
A ticket to heaven
It'll teach you a lesson
You're a fool if you
Play with my heart

It's a killer
The clown in a thriller
You go down, I'll go with ya
Cos we're through
Once I give you my heart

And I'll give you my heart

I'll give you my





Come play with my
