[Verse 1] Took me to the edge and you made me listen Said your heart is cement And it's time for separate ways I asked what you meant and you turned in pity Drank the view out west Like you had nothing more to say I am suffocating up here, oh The air is so thin Don't you dare tell me that you never felt anything [Chorus] Every shaky breath so close Every touch of mine you stole You cast it out And now my heart is cement Every secret that you know Every time you took your toll You pushed me out And now my heart is cement [Verse 2] Made me choke in clay and sand Patched me in so tight So much more than I could stand Trying to be as warm-blooded as I can
Was it all too much? My heart was soft to touch [Chorus] Every shaky breath so close Every touch of mine you stole You cast it out And now my heart is cement Every secret that you know Every time you took your toll You pushed me out And now my heart is cement [Bridge] So heavy when you filled me in, yeah I sunk like a stone in the deep end Don't you dare tell me that you never felt anything [Chorus] Every shaky breath so close Every touch of mine you stole You cast it out And now my heart is cement Every secret that you know Every time you took your toll You pushed me out And now my heart is cement
