lyrics

RIPPED THE HEART

the moon burned hot on a cool cool night the sun turned blue and froze
to ice my knees started shaking like a worn out truck
my eyes rained tears i got all choked up my head went swimming in a
deep dark sea you ripped the heart out of me

i crawled to the window, peeked through the blinds, gonna need somebody to
help me, its just a matter of time
i called my friends to calm me down, i rang and i rang but there was no one
around my mind started shaking like a leaf on a tree you ripped the heart
out of me

i went to my car, needed to ride doin' a hundred and ten in no condition to
drive i looked in the mirror, sweat poured from my face, the road was a
black snake, i was lost in the race i took a turn for the worse, and now i've
started to bleed you ripped the heart out of me
