Ian Mosley - Splintering Heart lyrics

There's a hot hard hurt Burning under her skin And it pricks her like thorns And it's needles and pins And it twists in her body And I know what it is And I'm paying in pain But it's the cost of the high 'Till the weight of the secret And the weight of the lie Makes my heart want to burst Feel the ache as time goes by Getting better and worse Getting better and worse And there's a screw that I tighten As I dream of the kiss And it twists and it cuts me And you know what it is? It's a fragment of love From a splintering heart And it tears her apart But not as much as this So you save up your tears For the moments alone 'Till the splinters you gather Leave you gla**-hard and numb And the same sun is shining On the old and the young On the saints and the sinners On the weak and the strong And there's a burning and freezing And a cross for a kiss So she learns to stop dreaming And you know how it is With these fragments of love And this splintering heart With the fragments And this splintering heart
