Intro: verse 1 The more I see, the less I understand The harder I work, the poorer I feel The deeper the faith, the more I'm broken The more I hear, the less it all seems real Then you come around With your soft young skin With no idea what you're about to step in And in these times you remind me Of the man I used to be If I had a heart, you'd be breaking it now verse 2 I've seen hope rise, come crashing down again Seen the bashing of brains, seen the city unwind Seen the overthrow, of dictators and tyrants Seen the gory mess, they always leave behind Then you stop by Talkin 'bout yer dreams You see a world not yet ripped apart at the seams And in these times you remind me Of the man I used to be If I had a heart, you'd be breaking it now Bridge You'll see truth, turned into lies Light turned to dark, hearts broke in two Just one thing, before I die I want to make one lie come true Instrumental verse 3 The more I read, the dumber I think I am The more money I make, the more they say I'll need The farther I drive, the closer I am to where I started The more I'm told, the less I tend to believe Then you come around With your soft young skin With no idea what you're about to step in And in these times you remind me Of the man I used to be If I had a heart, you'd be breaking it now If I still had a heart, you'd be breaking it now
