Heartstrings

Tugging on my heartstrings
‘cause you’re so pretty
But what you want
  I can’t give
And what I need
  You don’t have

So I numb my pain
  And drift away
    Slowly drift away

Turning to you
  hurts so good
Like picking at a scab
  or stabbing my back

So I numb my pain
  And drift away
    Slowly drift away

When I call to you
You only turn your back
I’m always holding the slack
I have to pay the debts
  of all the pain you left
  And all the mess you made
I’ll take it to my grave

So I numb my pain
  And drift away
    Slowly drift away
