Sometimes you've got to bleed to know That you're alive and have a soul But it takes someone to come around to show you how She's the tear in my heart, I'm alive She's the tear in my heart, I'm on fire She's the tear in my heart, take me higher Than I've ever been. The songs on the radio are ok But my taste in music is your face And it takes a song to come around to show you how You fell asleep in my car, I drove the whole time But that's ok, I'll just avoid the holes so you sleep fine I'm driving here I sit, cursing my government For not using my taxes to fill holes with more cement My heart is my armor She's the tear in my heart, she's a carver She's a butcher with a smile, cut me farther Than I've ever been.
