Slapstick Heart Songtext

Slapstick Heart Songtext
Painted smile, but I don′t feel the part
In dream I hold your knife over my heart
The edge is higher the closer I get
When I jump you move the net
I keep falling for this slapstick heart
Hanging on your words, I thought I'd known
The rope is cut and I′m falling on my own
The comedy in the tragic disbelief
Of only human
To make you laugh, is there nothing I won't do
Any pain I won't go through
Lost my balance, fell like rain
I half expected you to do the same
But you cried an ocean and broke my fall
That′s when I knew I couldn′t swim at all
In dream I hold your knife over my heart
The edge is higher the closer I get
When I jump you move the net
I keep falling for this slapstick heart
Hanging on your words, I thought I'd known
The rope is cut and I′m falling on my own
The comedy in the tragic disbelief
Of only human
To make you laugh, is there nothing I won't do
Any pain I won't go through
Lost my balance, fell like rain
I half expected you to do the same
But you cried an ocean and broke my fall
That′s when I knew I couldn′t swim at all
