Heart Replacement

by Elijah Ocean

/

lyrics

teenage summers ain’t made to last
they come on strong and burn out fast
and gettin’ over that first one was tough
but life goes on and people heal
and I finally fell in love for real
but ten years later the road just got too rough

I think I need a heart replacement
this one just ain’t cuttin’ it lately
and it’s taken more of a beatin’ than most hearts can
it’s past the point of worn and faded
I mend it but it keeps on breakin’
and it’ll never make it through that kinda pain again

weeklong flings and one night stands
can’t count ‘em all on my hands
it all adds up to lonely anyway
dreams and promises just end
in bitterness or let’s be friends
and nothin’ seems to take the hurt away

I think I need a heart replacement
this one just ain’t cuttin’ it lately
and it’s taken more of a beatin’ than most hearts can
it’s past the point of worn and faded
I mend it but it keeps on breakin’
and it’ll never make it through that kinda pain again

it’s past the point of worn and faded
I mend it but it keeps on breakin’
and it’ll never make it through that kinda pain again
oh I need a heart replacement
‘cause this one just can’t stand to ever break again
