Oh dear heart!

Oh dear heart

Why don’t you quit?

Why do you bother?

Why don’t you just freeze?

Is it so much fun to bleed?

To live in hope

Then drown in tears

To pray for something

Then watch it go away

Is it like you don’t feel the pain?

To ask the same question

Again and again and yet again

To dream a little dream

Then watch it fade so easily

To smile on a wish coming true

Then breaking down with despair

You must be very childish

For how can you be so naïve?

How can you still have faith?

How can you still beat?

How can you still dream?

When everything is wrong

When everything is wicked

When everyone is against

How can you still be one?

Oh my dear heart

Why don’t you just quit?
