lyrics

There’s a machine inside my chest
Made up of spare and busted parts
The wires are loose; the circuit’s a mess
It’s as if it were built in the dark

There’s a machine inside my chest
I pretend that it’s steel and hard as stone
But a fuse will blow, and it seems as though
The whole thing was made to be broken

Oh, Oh, Oh
Everyone’s finding their way
Oh, Oh, Oh
I keep making mistakes

Oh, Oh, Oh
I want a heart that never

Aches, aches
That never breaks, breaks
That never aches, aches
I’ve seen them before
I want a heart like everyone else
Oh, do they make them like that anymore?

There’s a machine inside my chest
Fickle and flawed for all to see
And as hard as I try to know it the best
There’s no knowing a mystery

Oh, Oh, Oh
It could be state of the art
Oh, Oh, Oh
It just needs someone to start it
Oh, Oh, Oh
I want a heart that never

Aches, aches
That never breaks, breaks
That never aches, aches
I’ve seen them before
I want a heart like everyone else
Oh, do they make them like that anymore?
