[Verse 1]
Don't break me, I bruise easily
The source of both your love and misery
I am steady beating endlessly
While you are dozing
Dreaming pretty things
I don't work for free
Please take care of me

[Chorus]
This is a message from your heart
Your most devoted body part
Taking blood and making art
This is a message from your heart
Pounding away into the dark
You could thank me for a start
This is a message from your heart

[Verse 2]
Don't hurt me, I bleed constantly
My effort to leave me blood flow back swiftly
My rhythm soothing like rain drops steady
On foggy windows when you gaze outwardly
I don't work for free
Please take care of me
[Chorus]

[Outro]
Every time you sleep
Bum bum bum bum [3x]
Every time you eat
Bum bum bum bum [3x]
Every time you laugh
This is a message from your heart
(bum bum bum bum)
Your most devoted body part
(bum bum bum bum)
Taking blood and making art
(bum bum bum bum)
Every time you cry
This is a message from your heart
(bum bum bum bum)
Pounding away into the dark
(bum bum bum bum)
You could thank me for a start
(bum bum bum bum)
This is a message from your heart
(bum bum bum bum)
Every time you love
(bum bum bum bum)
This is a message from your heart
(bum bum bum bum)
This is a message from your heart
