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
