Play By Heart

(album: Special Affections - 2011)

Calling out the contest
Can you hear me yell?
Listen for a minute
I wanna talk about
how I think about you
how I think you know
how I feel without you
how I feel alone.

'Cause I was running around,
but I fell to the ground,
and now I'm too scared to get up.
So I lay on the floor
with the heart that I wore
upon my sleeve when I lost your love.
'Cause I cut everything out,
and all I got was lost
trying too hard to hide the fall.
So I'm changing my lines
and going into it blind
and learning how to play by heart [x2]

Trying to keep my balance,
living double lives.
Covering my conscience
with a new disguise.
Paint upon my canvas
Paint upon my skin
Paint me in the corner
Paint me in the wind.

'Cause I was running around,
but I fell to the ground,
and now I'm too scared to get up.
So I lay on the floor
with the heart that I wore
upon my sleeve when I lost your love.
'Cause I cut everything out,
and all I got was lost
trying too hard to hide the fall.
So I'm changing my lines
and going into it blind
and learning how to play by heart [x7]
