Lead Belly Lyrics

When I sound like this, don't cover up your ears.
I'd write a song for your sake if I knew that it could fix this. Don't wave me off just yet, there's just this you need to know.
Please don't interrupt me, let me clear my throat as I - say goodbye the last time, say goodbye to how we were, for never understanding, see now you're not listening. Spilling out my thoughts of you, I know where this will leave me. This is how you get to hear it from me to you.
I've been keeping these secrets for far too long to just throw them all away. We wasted so much time skipping cracks in the pavement lines. I've done some things I never thought I'd ever regret. I've swallowed keys to my own heart and now I'm smiling through my clenched teeth. But my heart still beats.

I had the heart but you had no time for me. So when I look inside myself all I've found, all I feel are cracks. And they never seem to disappear.
