BURGLAR-PROOF HEART.
A vandal-proof shell
Armour-plate responses
An alarm bell…
She backs off love too quickly
Cause she knows hurts around.
Once bitten twice shy
Lost the nerve for heartache
There’s no second try…
You’d have to call long distance
And you’d find it rings out.
Burglar-proof heart
Back at the start
There-s no-one breaking in.
Burglar-proof heart
She’d fall apart
If she ever let begin…
Something that she couldn’t end.
Where did she go wrong
There’s no chance being hijacked
Where has she come from…
It must have been a killer
Cause she’s still hurting now.
She can’t try again
It might come to nothing
She don’t need the pain…
Cause she’s got more than enough
With her past round her neck.
How the hell could she pretend
She ain’t hurting?
How the hell can she now end
All this hurting?…
