Hearts cannot be broken, they're small squishy things They don't break like glass but they bruise easily This one you bruise Words will not be spoken never knowing what they mean Sticks and stones hurt my bones, your promises have broken me Each one you break And I want to be good but good is being simple Simple is forgetting I simply can't forget I want to be good but good is being simple Simple is forgetting And I simply can't forget Eyes are always open even when they sleep Mine are mostly closed while yours are wandering You look where you please And I want to be good but good is being simple Simple is forgetting I simply can't forget I want to be good but good is being simple Simple is forgetting And I simply can't forget I want to be great but greatness is giving Giving leaves me empty Oh great emptiness Souls cannot be taken, they're large and they're loud Yours merely whispers latelyseems it's shrinkin' I wish it would speak And I want to be good but good is being simple Simple is forgetting I simply can't forget I want to be good but good is being simple Simple is forgetting And I simply can't forget I want to be great but greatness is giving Giving leaves me empty Oh great emptiness
