A Billion Heartbeats |
Why does it take a tragedy to make |
Our true colors come out? |
We only feel the life in our limbs |
And a heartbeat beneath the skin |
When time is runnin' out |
But there’s love in pain |
And comfort in |
Suffering, feels familiar |
Just like a stranger’s touch |
We’ve yet to trust |
Reaching out to feel |
Something real before we turn to dust |
Every human has a billion heartbeats |
So why do we lie and cheat 'till we’re old? |
And time is up on Earth? |
Every human has a billion heartbeats |
So why do we only speak |
In the cold silence between our words? |
Trapped halfway between wanting to be brave |
And feeling scared, we’ll only stand and stare |
What difference will it make picking up the pieces |
As another lonely heart breaks, but don’t despair |
'Cause there’s love in pain |
And comfort in |
Suffering, feels familiar |
It’s soft like a stranger’s touch |
We’ve yet to trust |
Reaching out to feel |
Something real before we turn to dust |
Every human has a billion heartbeats |
So why do we lie and cheat 'till we’re old? |
And time is up on Earth? |
Every human has but a billion heartbeats |
So why do we only speak, we only speak |
In the cold silence between our words? |
In the cold silence between our words |
In the cold silence between our words |
In the cold silence between our words |
In the cold silence between our words |
So how do I, do I sleep, do I lie? |
Lie and cheat, though I try, I can’t speak |
Still my heart, my heart beats |
So how do I, do I sleep, do I lie? |
Lie and cheat, though I try, I can’t speak |
Still my heart, my heart beats |
How do I, do I sleep, do I lie? |
Lie and cheat, though I try, I can’t speak |
Still my heart, my heart beats |
How do I, do I sleep, do I lie? |
Lie and cheat, though I try, I can’t speak |
Yeah, I try, but I can’t speak, I can’t speak |
Every human has a billion heartbeats |
So why do we lie and cheat 'till we’re old? |
And time is up on Earth? |
Every human has but a billion heartbeats |
So why do we only speak |
In the cold silence between our words? |
In the cold silence between our words |
In the cold silence between our words |
In the cold silence between our words |
In the cold silence between our words |
In the cold silence between our words |
In the cold silence between our words |
