My Heart


Oh it's such a delicate thing
 
When I feel strong
It's defiant
It's excited
I am elated
It is worthwhile
 
Oh what a delicate thing
 
When I am nervous
It jitters
Like an ugly little critter
It leaps 
It soars
Out of my chest it goes
 
Oh such a delicate thing
 
When I am sad
It's sad too
It's depressed
It's dull
It's lazy
All to full
 
Oh such a delicate thing
 
When I am happy
It beams
It sings
And it rings
It's restless
That's what it seems
 
Oh such a delicate thing
 
I wear my heart on my sleeve
It hurts
It bleeds
 
I caress it
It sings
It dings
 
I beat it
It weeps
It grieves
 
I fall in love
It beeps
And it leaps
 
 
Oh it's such a delicate thing
It cries
It weeps
It sings 
It leaps
It beats
It dins
It rings
 
What a delicate thing
It's my everything
