lyrics

V1
I saw the white light comin'
I saw the red rush onto my bed
Over my duvet cover
I woke up on the wrong side of it

PRE 1
Nobody heard the shots
(There’s no witness)
Nobody called the cops
(No one’s business)
Now I've got this hole in the front of of my chest
Somehow, I’m still alive, just my
My heart is dead

CHORUS:
Oooh, my heart is dead, girl
Oooh, It doesn’t beat no more
My heart is dead, girl
My heart is dead

V2
I left my back door open
It must’ve struck while I was asleep
I should’ve seen this comin'
That kind of hit you only get from lovin'

PRE 2:
Nobody took the blame
(no one’s busted)
No one was locked away
(there’s no justice)
Just this gaping hole in the font of my chest
Somehow, I’m still alive, just my
My heart is dead

BRIDGE:
I’m a zombie in disguise
(he’s still breathing’ — how’s he still breathin’?)
I’m a ghost, yeah, I can’t feel no-thin’ inside

POST BRIDGE:
It’s like I died
But, I’m still alive
I’m not upset
No worries,
just...

ALT CHORUS:
Ooh, there's no justice, no...
Oooh, Nobody took the blame
No one was locked away
I just had to let you know
My heart is...

Silver Tears
by Aaron Lee Tasjan

Aaron Lee Tasjan is one my favorite artists. I feel a kindred spirit to his songwriting, and lyrically he is right up there with all the greats. This cat makes me cry and laugh in the same song. Theo Katzman
