Hearts cannot be broken,
They're small squishy things
They don't break like glass
But they bruise easily
This one you bruise

Words will not be spoken
Never knowing what they mean
Sticks and stones hurt my bones,
Your promises have broken me
Each one you break

And I want to be good
But good is being simple
Simple is forgetting
I simply can't forget
I want to be good
But good is being simple
Simple is forgetting
And I simply can't forget

Eyes are always open
Even when they sleep
Mine are mostly closed
While yours are wandering
You look where you please

And I want to be good
But good is being simple
Simple is forgetting
I simply can't forget
I want to be good
But good is being simple
Simple is forgetting
And I simply can't forget

I want to be great
But greatness is giving
Giving leaves me empty
Oh great emptiness

Souls cannot be taken,
They're large and they're loud
Yours merely whispers
Latelyseems it's shrinkin'
I wish it would speak

And I want to be good
But good is being simple
Simple is forgetting
I simply can't forget
I want to be good
But good is being simple
Simple is forgetting
And I simply can't forget

I want to be great
But greatness is giving
Giving leaves me empty
Oh great emptiness
