Oh, The Pain Of Hearts

 

Oh, the pain of hearts,

Of giving love but remaining numb,

Of harboring passion but remaining stern,

Of locking secrets and all the parts that burn,

Of knowing truth but choosing fads,

Oh, the pain of hearts,

 

Oh, the pain of hearts,

Of lacking thought and being stupid,

Of being torn,

Between what you can’t have,

And a disgraceful compromise,

Of seeking pleasure, that fading dud,

Oh, the pain of hearts,

 

Oh, the pain of hearts,

Of seeking joy in the crypts of hell,

Of judging folks when they miss a step,

Yet still judging these when you're called inept,

Oh, the pain of hearts.
