Oh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart
The gnashing teeth and criminal tongues conspire against the odds
But they haven't seen the best of us yet
If you love me let me go If you love me let me go
'Cause these words are knives and often leave scars
The fear of falling apart And truth be told, I never was yours
The fear, the fear of falling apart
Oh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart [x2]
This is gospel for the vagabonds, Ne'er-do-wells and insufferable bastards
Confessing their apostasies Led away by imperfect impostors
Oh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart [x2]
Don't try to sleep through the end of the world
And bury me alive 'Cause I won't give up without a fight
If you love me let me go If you love me let me go
'Cause these words are knives and often leave scars
The fear of falling apart And truth be told, I never was yours
The fear, the fear of falling apart
Oh, the fear of falling apart Oh, the fear, the fear of falling apart [x4]
(Oh, this is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart) The fear of falling apart
