Heartsick Lyrics

Touch my skin

It's tougher than what lies within

The blood inside my veins feels thin

Cause my heart is porcelain

Sticks and stones

Innocence left unknown

It was all lost to these broken bones

Little did I know

I'm in denial

Like a stubborn child

Facing too many trials

But aching when I'm idle

I want my heart to get stronger

But it gets weaker with every break

I'm heartsick in the knowledge of my own failure

I'm a helpless hypocrite

I can't see myself in the least of these

There's still a tenderness sitting in this chaos

And it's all I want to hold

I'm adequate

Taking in the sacraments

Making sure the bill was fit

Yet I wrestle with all of it

I want my heart to get stronger

But it gets weaker with every break

I'm heartsick in the knowledge of my own failure

I'm a helpless hypocrite

I can't see myself in the least of these

There's still a tenderness sitting in this chaos

And it's all I want to hold
