My Gentle Heart Lyrics

Curled up in disheveled bedsheets

I can feel a subtle heartbeat

Pounding against the cage in my chest

Counting sheep inhaling deeply

In a dream but I'm not sleepy

Yet I see you're clinging to my shirt

It hurts

What are you waiting for

Do I have to show you the door

You've been here before

You know you gotta get up

My gentle heart

will rip yours apart

I won't say no

And it will slice at your soul

I'll do it again

If you think we're more than friends

I see the bashful glances

But you know my stance is

You reap what you sow

Talking back in my living room

Make believe that it wasn't you

Counting blessings not received

Counting minutes passing slowly

At times I wish you didn't know me

Clinging to a dream made of dust, you lust

What are you waiting for

Do I have to show you the door

You've been here before

You know you gotta get out

My gentle heart

will rip yours apart

I won't say no

And it will slice at your soul

I'll do it again

If you think we're more than friends

I see the bashful glances

But you know my stance is

You reap what you sow
