Heartbeat Mine

HEARTBEAT MINE - Written by Carroll Bryant

I walk down the road of my life

Always looking over my shoulder

I can hear footsteps following behind me

Will it get worse as I grow older?

Every day passes like a ghost

Each one bleeding into the next one

I live this illusion caught in my confusion

Looking at the light of the sun

People speak the word of the wise

Sometimes you don’t want to open up your eyes

Not everything you do is going to come back to you

Just know your love is alive

I just know my heartbeat is mine

There’s constant writing on the wall

Always trying to read between invisible lines

I can see discrepancies in almost everything

Never to read anything at all

Every night swims in a pool

Drowning in somebody else’s misery

My flotation device is trying to always be nice

Thoughts that roam wild constantly

People speak the word of the wise

Sometimes you don’t want to open up your eyes

Not everything you do is going to come back to you

Just know your love is alive

I just know my heartbeat is mine

I can tie up rainbows and make them flowers for your day

I know you’re still going throw those dreams away

You can live your life being mean to me every day

I’m still gonna love you no matter what you do or don’t say

I only wish you will stop acting this way

So as we walk down the road of life

Feel the hot rays turning colder

We can sense shadows looking at us all

It’ll only get worse as we grow older

Every thought becomes our intention

Each one more obscene than the next one

We live in squallier of memories growing taller

Always being blinded by the sun

I only wish you were the one

People speak the word of the wise

Sometimes you don’t want to open up your eyes

Not everything you do is going to come back to you

Just know your love is alive

People speak the word of the wise

Sometimes you don’t want to open up your eyes

Not everything that’s true will come back to you

Just know your love is alive

I just know my heartbeat is mine
