Make you a simple and reticent heart

Try on the armor while it falls apart

Pick up the pieces and label it art

Swimming and drowning and drifting afloat

Drop all your baggage and jump in the boat

Sail off in search of a new antidote

Finally find it the air fills with smoke

Turn around crying you gasp and you choke

Facing the face of the heart that you broke

Wake up one morning a lump in your throat

Write down a love song then hate what you wrote

Falling apart as you hit every note

Decide to shut down your reticent heart

Make all the moves to start falling apart

But instead at the last minute choose to restart
