Crushed My Beating Heart by Cailin Green and Robert Campbell (SOCAN)
Without a glance you closed the door
The silence hung like frozen rain
It never crossed your mind I might be burned
I sat there for I don’t know how long
Out of place and out of time
Thinking hard about the way we were
My hopes and fears are waging holy war
Your words of steel pierced my
Pierced my beating heart
How can a bright day look so dark?
The sunshine feel so cold?
Every colour is a shade of grey
I’ve never felt so small before
A little bird in a sky of stone
How am I supposed to live this way?
My hopes and fears are waging holy war
Your words of steel pierced my
Pierced my beating heart
A mountain fell and crushed my
Crushed My Beating Heart
Don’t play games with me, speak clear and sweet
Tell me what you want from me
Don’t beat me down, don’t beat me down
Don’t make me write a sad sad song
You talk in riddles and empty words
Too afraid to speak your mind
I thought you loved me, now I’m not so sure
My hopes and fears are waging holy war
Your words of steel pierced my
Pierced my beating heart
A mountain fell and crushed my
Crushed My Beating Heart
