How Not to Fix a Broken Heart (Living a Lie) Lyrics

I had everything I ever wanted

Cause there's a gun in my desk drawer

Though my emotional range is stunted

I've never wanted more

Than to sit in my own bedroom

Talking to the world

Open up a little more headroom

I am your little girl, and

That's no way to fix your broken heart

My heart once glass is now a million shards

That's no way to fix your broken heart

What you call self-destructive I call art

But what could it hurt to live a lie

I had everything I ever needed

Cause mommy's always there

I never had a booboo never bleeded

And mommy always cut my hair

I found myself up in the attic

Lookin for who I am

I stripped the clothes off my favorite addict

Sister doesn't give a damn, and

That's no way to fix your broken heart

My heart once glass is now a million shards

That's no way to fix your broken heart

What you call self-destructive I call art

But what could it hurt to live a lie

What could it hurt to live as a guy, oh

What could it hurt to live your lie

But why the hell should I not be I

Will I succeed, or

Suffer defeat, or

Ever complete my vision

I'll die in my room, my

Drywall tomb, and

when I'm exhumed you'll listen

I'm proud of my head, that which

Earns my bread, but you

Know that my mind's a prison

I was never anything you gave me

And yeah that truck was such a bore

Now I'm just waiting on your god to save me

But there are none that don't abhor

The strange nature of my condition

Been conditioned to live your lie

It's why I became a magician

To change from him to I, and

That's no way to fix your broken heart

My heart once glass is now a million shards

That's no way to fix your broken heart

What you call self-destructive I call art

But what could it hurt to live a lie
