Cast your mind back to the days
When I pretend' I was OK
I had so very much to say
About my crazy living
Now that I've stared into the void
So many people I've annoyed
I have to find a middle way
A better way of giving

So I haven't given up
But all my choices, my good luck
Appear to go and get me stuck
In an open prison
Now I am trying to break free
In a state of empathy
Find the true and inner me
Eradicate this schism

No-one can take it away from me
And no-one can tear it apart
Because a heart that hurts
Is a heart that works
A heart that hurts
Is a heart that works

A heart that hurts
Is a heart that works
No-one can take it away from me
No-one can tear it apart
Maybe's an elaborate fantasy
But it's the perfect place to start

Because a heart that hurts
Is a heart that works
A heart that hurts
Is a heart that... works
