Barenaked Ladies
Half a Heart
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
