I should have known when the fuel stopped burning
A shortcircuit, then the light went out
I don't recall being taken apart
But since you're gone I'm missing half a heart
Rebuilt my spine out of wood and wire
Mend my bones with spit and glue
Reclaimed my soul from the hands of the devil
But I'm still missing some pieces of the puzzle
I'm halfhearted
Halfhearted
The valves and framework I've been able to keep
What keeps it ticking has been taken from me
You made me halfhearted
Halfhearted
I realize I need to pull it together
Fuel is leaking and is bound to ignite
I'm a machine with a few loose screws
They used to hold a whole heart, before you
Rebuilt my spine out of wood and wire
Mend my bones with spit and glue
Reclaimed my soul from the hands of the devil
But I'm still missing some pieces of the puzzle
I'm halfhearted
Halfhearted
The valves and framework I've been able to keep
What keeps it ticking has been taken from me
You made me halfhearted
Halfhearted
I keep on crashing while compiling defunct love
Shutdown, reboot and then try it again
Maintain my distance while I scavenge for spare parts
I can't afford another half of my heart
I'm halfhearted
Halfhearted
The valves and framework I've been able to keep
What keeps it ticking has been taken from me
You made me halfhearted
Halfhearted
