Child

Take your heart and put it in
this once was silver, rusted tin
and hide it in the ground for your protection
Heartlessly walk through the streets
so all the hopeless souls you meet
will learn to feel the sting of your rejection
oh oh oh oh

You say you've never known a heart to tether yourself to before
it's frightening I'm sure
You're worried; in constant fear when we're together
that I'll see it'll storm and leave you ignored

So you're worried you'll die alone
Tell your worries they've got no home 
Do you need me now?
Then believe me now      oh oh oh 
So you're worried you'll die alone 
tell your worries they've got no home 
Do you need me now?
Then believe me now 

Give to me your fragile box
so I can learn to pick the lock
and mend whatever brokenness you're hiding
Take my half it's bent and bruised
whatever's left of yours we'll use
to build a single heart we'll both confide in
