Hearts for Sale
Hearts Auction: Trading Pain for Freedom
Lyrics
I caught a different kind of cold last night
I experienced a different emotional impact recently.
The kind that you don’t catch in the wintertime
It's a unique kind of emotional impact, not typical in winter.
It ain’t contagious
This emotional state is not easily transferable to others.
But it’ll cut a man dry
It won't spread to others, but it deeply affects an individual.
And I’ve been running low on iodine
I lack the emotional strength to cope.
Don’t say you love me one more time
Don't express love repeatedly, as I'll reciprocate, but I can't handle more lies.
Cuz you know I’ll say it back
I'll respond with love if you express it, despite the consequences.
I can’t take another lie
I can't endure another falsehood.
Don’t wanna waste my time
I don't want to waste time.
Spending all I’ve got
Spending what I have on things I can't attain.
On what I can’t buy
Investing in unattainable goals.
I’m done trying
I've given up trying.
My hearts for sale
My emotional state is available for others to acquire.
I don’t want it anymore
I no longer want to keep it.
It takes me places I don’t wanna be
It leads me to undesirable places.
So come round here
Come here.
Leave your change at the door
Leave behind your emotional baggage.
Pay what you like
Set your own value for it.
Just take it far away from me
Take it away from me.
It’s taken more time than I thought it would to fight it
Fighting this emotional state has taken longer than expected.
The memories run so deep
Memories are deeply ingrained.
And it’s hard to break the cycle
Breaking the cycle is challenging.
Up and down all around and everywhere between
Experiencing ups and downs everywhere.
Slave to the same routine
Trapped in a monotonous routine.
I’m dying to be free
Desiring freedom from this routine.
My hearts for sale
My emotional state is available for others to acquire.
I don’t want it anymore
I no longer want to keep it.
It takes me places I don’t wanna be
It leads me to undesirable places.
So come round here
Come here.
Leave your change at the door
Leave behind your emotional baggage.
Pay what you like
Set your own value for it.
Just take it far away from me
Take it away from me.
I’d rather hurt in my lungs
I prefer the pain in my lungs over emotional distress.
Light a cigarette to kill them some
Using a cigarette to cope with emotional pain.
Breathe in the air
Taking a breath and expressing emotions through a song.
Scream out a song
Expressing oneself without expecting anything in return.
Give or take nothing from no one
Not accepting anything from anyone.
