The Heart Is a Muscle

Break me off a piece of that And mix it in with a little wine With someone warm and smart, I guess With a heart in first and a soul behind And I won't give in 'Cause I wanna try again There will be no years of silence in the shadow of regret I won't let it so betray me, though my soul got used to it I will look at love as more than just an instrument of pain And will give myself completely to the moving and the strange 'Cause I wanna overcome And try to love someone I will not spend the years depleted of my willingness to try It won't hurt this way forever, it ain't worth the overtime I'm not looking for redemption nor some shallow kind of bliss Lay me down and kiss me deeply, show me everything I missed I haven't had enough And I wanna love someone I will not hurt like this forever, I'm responding to the call While there's speakers in the outfield Blasting out my favourite song I will not play this out discreetly, it is real and unashamed I am human now and terrified, but want it all the same 'Cause I wanna overcome And try to love someone 'Cause the heart, the heart, the heart The heart is a muscle And I wanna make it strong 'Cause the heart, the heart, the heart The heart is a muscle now I wanna make it strong I let bad love betray me once But I was barely outta high school then And I guess I fear the same results That none will take me as I am I wanna be loved, I wanna be whole again So tuck my hair behind my ears and touch my soul again The window is wide, the post unfulfilled And I just ask you to be patient if you'll have me still 'Cause I wanna open up And try to love someone 'Cause I wanna overcome And try to love someone The heart, the heart, the heart The heart is a muscle The heart, the heart, the heart The heart is a muscle now The heart, the heart, the heart The heart is a muscle now I wanna make it strong
