Cast your mind back to the days When I'd pretend I was okay I had so very much to say About my crazy livin' Now that I've stared into the void So many people I've annoyed I have to find a middle way A better way of givin' So I haven't given up That all my choices, my good luck Appear to go and get me stuck In an open prison Now I am tryin' to break free Be in a state of empathy Find the true and inner me Eradicate the schism No-one can take it away from me And no-one can tear it apart Because a heart that hurts Is a heart that works A heart that hurts Is a heart that works Bright lights and black holes Bright lights and black holes Bright lights and black holes Bright lights and black holes A heart that hurts Is a heart that works No-one can take it away from me Bright lights and black holes No-one can tear it apart Bright lights and black holes It may be elaborate fantasy Bright lights and black holes But it's the perfect place to start Bright lights and black holes Because a heart that hurts Is a heart that works A heart that hurts Is a heart that works
