[Intro]
Heart...
You, safe
You, tenderly
Heart...
Heart...
You, safe
You, ten...
[Verse 1]
(Let me tell you, let me tell you)
I'm feeling warm inside
(Let me tell you, let me tell you)
Yes, I've tried my best
And more or less, I spoke from my heart
(Let me tell you, let me tell you)
[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
There's a sun shining in the sky
But that's not the reason why
I'm feeling warm inside
The answer isn't classified; it's my heart
From the moment I started
I tried to be good about it
Yes, I've tried my best
And more or less, I spoke from my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
There's a lot to be learned
And you learn when your heart gets burnt
[Chorus]
There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart
You know how easy it is
To tear it apart
If I lend it to you, will you keep it safe for me?
I'll lend it to you if you treat it tenderly
There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart
[Verse 3]
Hearts can never be owned
Hearts only come on loan
If I want it back
I will take it back, I'll take my heart
But I will try my best
And more or less, I will speak from my heart
Yes, I will speak from my heart
Speak from my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
There's a lot to be learned
And you learn when your heart gets burned
There's a lot to be learned
And you learn when your heart gets burned
[Chorus]
There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart
You know how easy it is
To tear it apart
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
If I lend it to you
I'll lend it to you
There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart
You know how easy it is
To tear it apart
If I lend it to you, will you keep it safe for me?
I'll lend it to you if you treat it tenderly
There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart
You know how easy it is
To tear it apart
If I lend it to you, will you keep it safe for me?
I'll lend it to you if you treat it tenderly
There's something beating here inside my body
And it's called a heart
You know how easy it is
To tear it apart
Heart...
You, safe
You, tenderly
Heart...
Heart...
You, safe
You, ten...
