Well I boarded up my heart And shut out all the light And the weeds grew up And the rains came down And drowned out all my sight Sounds and scents grew fainter As love faded like a painter With a can of black the color of night My heart drifted off to sleep Forgot to ever wake up, gave up the fight A little more than half of me Is missin more than half of you My hearts been gone so long Dont even know that its been blue A little more than half of me Is missin more than half of you If you hang around long enough youll see That aint half bad for me I thought I heard a voice As I drifted in my sleep You gotta make a choice boy You know its time to leap I squeezed my eyes shut hard Cause you know my hearts got scars She just kept sayin baby Let me be your northern star My eyes came open just a crack Cause man shes got the knack To get this heart back on track
