lyrics

When our hearts are free to roam
Traveling down that lonesome road
Often they will cling to scraps
Meaningless flings that turn into traps
Once those traps are set in stone
The heart again will yearn to roam
It pulls at us with all its might
Until we disappear into the night

The heart is stupid but the heart is true
And it’s inside of me and it’s inside of you
The heart is stupid but the heart is true
Oh the things it’s made me do

Some will try to pass the buck
To an omnipresent god that doesn’t give a fuck
Sitting high upon his throne
He’d as soon have your heart removed
But even in the most ardent believer
There beats a little brain deceiver
Deep beneath our ribs and lungs
There’s a bleeding heart that controls our tongues

The heart is stupid but the heart is true
And it’s inside of me and it’s inside of you
The heart is stupid but the heart is strong
The heart has never been known to be wrong
The heart is stupid but the heart doesn’t lie
Even though we might make it try
The heart is stupid but the heart is true
Oh the things it’s made me do…
Oh the things it’s made me do
