LYRICS
And another one bites the dust
But why can I not conquer love?
And I might’ve thought that we were one
Wanted to fight this war without weapons
And I want it and I wanted it bad
But there were so many red flags
Now another one bites the dust
Yeah let’s be clear, I trust no one
You did not break me
I’m still fighting for peace
Well I’ve got thick skin and an elastic heart
But your blade it might be too sharp
I’m like a rubber band until you pull too hard
Yeah I may snap and I move fast
You won’t see me fall apart
‘Cause I’ve got an elastic heart
I’ve got an elastic heart
Yeah, I’ve got an elastic heart
And I will stay up through the night
Yeah let’s be clear, I won’t close my eyes
And I know that I can survive
I walked through fire to save my life
And I want it, I want my life so bad
And I’m doing everything I can
Then another one bites the dust
It’s hard to lose a chosen one
You did not break me
I’m still fighting for peace
Oh, I’ve got thick skin and an elastic heart
But your blade it might be too sharp
I’m like a rubber band until you pull too hard
Yeah I may snap and I move fast
You won’t see me fall apart
‘Cause I’ve got an elastic heart
Oh, and I’ve got thick skin and an elastic heart
But your blade it might be too sharp
I’m like a rubber band until you pull too hard
Yeah I may snap and I move fast
You won’t see me fall apart
No, ’cause I’ve got an elastic heart
And I’ve got thick skin and an elastic heart
But your blade it might be too sharp
I’m like a rubber band until you pull too hard
Yeah I may snap and I move fast
You won’t see me fall apart
‘Cause I’ve got an elastic heart
I’ve got an elastic heart
Yeah, I’ve got an elastic heart

Can’t wait to make time to hear this!
Relentless I stay to claim
your words cut & bite
trusted you for love
you never broke me.
Hearts bend devouring
these words we stroke
baking peace coupled
living within your fires.
Chosen ones so rare
we find the time to renew
days between crazy eyes
our hearts never fell apart.
Watch me rise
in mimosa’s light
warm beauty of strength
a sonorous prayer
ardently sweet
translucent in
pretty confessions
under god’ s own sun.
Love grows
People know
They’ve built a connection
You made your selection
Aroused by that special one
You know when they try to hide something
They can’t admit won’t admit
Their true feelings.
