Heart Shaped Things
(j. bell)

You say you don't mean the things you say
when you say mean things to me
but I don't mind
You said we'd give it one shot
but one shot turned to three and it fell apart
we'll do it one more time
I never said that you were to blame
for the things I feel right now 'cause it's not my fault
and it's not my style
But I don't need your phone calls
and I don't need your hand I don't need nothin' at all
'cept maybe once in a while

Sometimes I want to turn away
Sometimes I wanted to say
You can only put heart-shaped things
where heart-shaped things belong
and I doubt that you'll miss me when I'm gone

I guess you played the princess
I guess I played the fool but that's my part
and I play it well
Thought that we'd be better off but better off feels so bad
or maybe not
Sometimes it's hard to tell
When I hear the voices that tell me how stupid I am
and they don't stop
I think of all the choices
and the things that I passed over it don't add up
'cause they're the things I can't keep

Things always seem darkest on a day like today
Things always seem darkest when I heard somebody say
You can only put heart-shaped things
where heart-shaped things belong
and I doubt that you'll miss me when I'm gone

Next time I go back again well I think I'll make you stay
Next time I go back again well I'll know what to say

You say you don't mean the things you say
when you say mean things to me
but I don't mind
It's the last second we don't have right now
and that's the one that counts it slips on by
but it's all just time

Things always seem darkest on a day like today
Things always seem darkest when I heard somebody say
You can only put heart-shaped things
where heart-shaped things belong
and I doubt that you'll miss me when I'm gone
You can only put heart-shaped things
where heart-shaped things belong
and I doubt that you'll miss me
well I doubt that you'll miss me
Yeah, I doubt that you'll miss me when I'm gone
