Silver Heart

Nicolas Chamillet

Compositor: Nicolas Chamillet

I've been broken so many times, I've lost count of the scars
Emotions buried deep, like broken glass in the dark
Once, I felt everything, now I'm numb to the core
The pain is a distant echo, it doesn't hurt anymore

I wish I had a heart of silver, cold but shining
Maybe then I'd be loved, maybe then I'd be right
But this flesh and blood, it's a fucking curse
Every beat a reminder that it only gets worse

There's no room for conversation
I've tried to run from this feeling
But the memory of the damned prophecy pulls me back in

If my heart was silver, you'd love me more
I'd be worth the fight, like a treasure to adore
No more pain, no more lies, just an empty glow
A silver heart that's yours, but will never be mine

I used to dream of love, but those dreams have turned to dust
Promises whispered sweetly, now betrayed by rust
Every tear has dried, every smile is a mask
Surviving in this world is my only task

I had to learn to be strong
Being broken over and over again
It's part of the training

If I could trade this heart for one made of steel
Would you even notice? Would you even feel
Cold and unbreakable, untouched by the flame
Maybe then you'd love me, maybe then you'd say my name

If my heart was silver, you'd love me more
I'd be worth the fight, like a treasure to adore
No more pain, no more lies, just a hollow shine
A heart of silver that's yours, but will never be mine

But silver tarnishes, and steel can bend
No matter what I'm made of, it'll all break in the end
So I'll just go numb, with this heart of flesh and bone
'Cause love is a lie, and I'm better off alone

If my heart was silver, you'd love me more
I'd be worth the fight, like a treasure to adore
No more pain, no more lies, just a hollow shine
A heart of silver that's yours, but will never be mine
