"The Only Beat That's True"

I'm tired of getting hurt
Of trying to make amends
And end up mending wounds
That I only made much worse

I'm tired of feeling alone
Of losing all my friends
To this descending mess around me
That I somehow call my home

[chorus]
Did you know that I love you?
I can feel it burning through
Every time my heart feels like it's tearing apart
It's the only beat that's true

I can't seem to close my eyes
When all the world begins to groan
Beneath broken bones out in the night
No, not this time

And I can't stand to watch this go
Down that same destructive road
I see the way we're reaping
Every seed we've ever sown

[chorus]
Did you know that I love you?
I can feel it burning through
Every time my heart feels like it's tearing apart
It's the only beat that's true
And it's beating out for you
For you...

[bridge]
And this pain contained inside
Will all pour out and breathe new life
Because a heart's capacity for love
Is marked by the scars that are brought to light

[chorus]

  1. everytime my heart gets broken..i feel a bit like this.. and sometime even with fam. when they are deceitful.

    I'm tired of getting hurt

  2. Yeah.. it's so tough to try to make things right with the people who really matter in your life. Even defeating at times. But I think hope lies in the fact that nothing is stronger than the love that we can have for one another. And that no matter how many times we walk away feeling like things aren't getting any better in the process, love cannot return empty handed. It's an irreversable mark on peoples' hearts. So even though on the outside it may seem as though nothing is happening and that your heart is just endlessly getting torn to pieces, it's doing more than you can ever know just to continue pouring love into those people.
