lyrics

HEART SURGERY

Each time we try
To make up and reconcile
I pray
It’s the last time we try
Each time we decide
It would be better
To hide away
I pray
It’s our last goodbye

Why do the love birds still fly?
They’ll never die as long as you’re around
Each day I pray
To be freed from thought
But no God can cut you loose from me
And the days linger on
I sing song after song
I’m in my room
Waiting for heart surgery

Why do the love birds still fly?
They’ll never die as long as you’re around
Why do our cars still collide
While there is no other car in sight?

Each time we try
To break up and say goodbye
I am cast by an unbreakable spell
I saw the devil in your eyes
And I wisely stepped aside
Now I got lost on your highway to hell
