Barenaked Ladies – Half A Heart

Drunk on wine, I’m amazing

Bitter Pill; it’s my raising

News at five and at midnight

Caught on tape; serves me right

The crowd around me starts to grow

I can feel the undertow

Anyone with a half a heart would help me out

Before they ever let the other half find out

But if they could see how far I’ve let you down

Anyone with half a heart would let me drown

Flashing lights couldn’t warn her

Paint myself in a corner

Bracing now for the impact

Losing hope, keeping track

Standing on a crumbling wall

Tethered to a cannonball

Anyone with half a heart would help me out

Before they ever let the other half find out

But if they could see how high I’ve built this wall

Anyone with half a heart would let me fall

In the space between sleep and sleeplessness

We redress all our wounds

If we replace all this hopeless hopelessness

Then we could rest

Anyone with half a heart would let me drown

Anyone with half a heart would pull me down

Anyone with half a heart would let me fall

Anyone with half a heart wouldn’t care at all

Anyone with half a heart would help me out

Before they ever let the other half find out

But if they could see how far I’ve let you down

Anyone with half a heart would let me drown
