Heart Attack Lyrics

Eyes blue, hair grey, and no one knows his name

His granddaughter will say, "it's going to be okay"

Shirts white as snow, used to follow where he'd go

And the doctors don't know why his health won't show

And there's a little girl who won't understand

Why she had to lose a good man

And there's a little girl who will grow up

With a space that's left for his love

There's salt in my wounds and scissors to my braids

You know, I'd screw it all up in the name of change

Keep pushing forward, never look back

Because if I did, I'd relive it all like a heart attack

All good things will end, secrets don't make friends

No one knows how deep she's in, secrets don't make friends

I was a moth to a flame, our love ended in pain

How sad, what a shame, all that for a little fame

And I don't think I'll understand

Why you couldn't be a good man

And I don't think I'll ever know

Why you felt you had to go

There's salt in my wounds and scissors to my braids

You know, I'd screw it all up in the name of change

Keep pushing forward, never look back

Because if I did, I'd relive it all like a heart attack

I know there's blood in my veins so I should give thanks

But if you're expecting a confession, there's no way

There's skin on my bones, but I don't know

If there's enough marrow left for me to grow

Because it feels like I am stuck in time

Between bindings of books, pages, and lines

But in the end, the villain always dies

And I'm starting to wonder if the stories might be mine

There's salt in my wounds and scissors to my braids

You know, I'd screw it all up in the name of change

Keep pushing forward, never look back

Because if I did, I'd relive it all like a heart attack

A heart attack

Oh

A heart attack
