Songwriting

Last night, I was in a mood and wrote this song that really came from my heart (no pun intended). It’s called My Heart, though I don’t really like the title and if you have any suggestions I’d really appreciate it. Please read it and comment.

(Verse1)
There’s a little time left
For tears left unshed
For things left undone
For thoughts left unsaid
Take what’s left of it now
And let it pour out
Straight into a dead heart
Till it overflows
Take what’s left of it now
And let it pour out

(Chorus)
I took the knife to my heart
Held it out in my hand
Still beating only in part
Still beating, can’t you understand?
The one I want, the one I need
The one for which my heart still beats
Took the knife to my heart
And held it out in my hand.

(Verse2)
This heart, it still bleeds
But oh, not with blood
What flows now is pure
Undiluted, but dead
It breaks with the words
That I want you to say
Take the things left undone
Take the thoughts left unsaid
Take what’s left of it now
And let it pour out.

(Chorus)
I took the knife to my heart
And held it out in my hand
Still beating only in part
Still beating, can’t you understand?
The one I want, the one I need
The one for which my heart still beats
Took the knife to my heart
And held it out in my hand.

(Bridge)
Now reach out for me

And take this dead heart 

Keep it close to yours  

And we’ll beat in part. 

Take what’s left of me now
Pieces that don’t fit
The shattered remains
Of the girl who once said
To take her dead heart
And bring it to life
The dead heart that still beats
Still bleeds in the night
Take it out of my hand
Take it out of my hand…

(Chorus)
I took the knife to my heart
Held it out in my hand
Still beating only in part
Still beating, can’t you understand?
The one I want, the one I need
The one for which my heart still beats
Took the knife to my heart
And held it out in my hand.
