Cast your mind back to the days,

When I pretend′ I was OK.

I had so very much to say,About my crazy livin'.

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 givin'.

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 tryin′ to break free,

Be 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.

'Cause 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.

It may be elaborate fantasy,

But it′s the perfect place to start.

'Cause a heart that hurts,

Is a heart that works.

A heart that hurts,

Is a heart that works.
