Bleachers - The Backwards Heart Lyrics
Official




The next batch of kids
They're gonna be the one tough scene
The kinda shit I think
Don't stand up when I bleed
They know I'm more scared
And you're assuming

'Cause I got a backwards heart (come take my hand)
And I'm tough to be sold
And in a backwards heart (only thing I know)
Not much can grow
But I'ma turn it around
And I just want you to know

The next phase of me
I'm gonna be one tough seed
Don't mind no black and blue
And green and everything in between
And I told her to heal up
But she don't know what I mean

'Cause I got a backwards heart (back me up)
Am I a saint or a fool?
And in a backwards heart (back, back me up)
Not much can grow
So I'ma turn it around
And I just want you to know

I see your backwards heart
I see your backwards heart
I see your busy heart
I feel your backwards heart

I have tried so many times
When looking at what I've chosen
God, it's harrowing
Good grief, kept it only there
What becomes of the mirror boy
Who wants to know the outside world
But cannot begin?
Good grief, can be lonely out there

Good grief is all that I knew then
I fought a war in my bedroom
So goddamn scared to be here
Good grief is all that I knew of you
A tug of war in my mirror
So goddamn scared to see ya, ooh

Good grief you carry me through it
Just admit you put him up through it
I'm coming home to please you (good grief, good grief)
Good grief it's good to see ya
You give me the one good feeling
I'm high and I believe it (good grief, good grief)
