Eat My Heart Out

Tiptoe past my door

So I can’t hear the floor creak

But your shadow found its way onto my curtain

 

I sleep in the spare bed

You sleep with your head

Just a few inches behind this wall

I still hear the breath you’d blow

 

Eat my heart

Eat my heart

Oh I’ll eat my heart out tonight

 

Eat my heart

Eat my heart

Oh I’ll eat my heart out tonight

 

We pass in the street

Tense up and look down to our feet

But there’s nothing interesting on mine

 

All these pictures are rendered useless now honey

Because I can’t look at them without feeling the guilt that you gave to me

And the illusion of better days back then

 

So eat my heart

Eat my heart

Oh I’ll eat my heart out tonight

 

Eat my heart

Eat my heart

Oh I’ll eat my heart out tonight

 

But my heart’s not ready, No it’s still not quite steady

But I’ll just keep falling in, just keep falling in

 

And these promises I’m making

Potentially I’ll be breaking

And the ground I’m standing’s thin

 

Sure I loved the image of the house in the valley 

And the kids in the gardens keeping their knees muddy

Sure I’d love to sit around in chairs

Watching the sunrise smoking cigarettes

 

Call me stubborn, call me right, call me anything you fucking well like

 

I'll eat my heart out tonight
