My Own Songs - Damaging Hearts

Damaging Hearts
By J.Betts, 2011

The pride you value has come to nothing
The clouds are forming around and turn to something
Watch that child, watch that man
Something’s coming, understand
People watch, motionless in notion
People wait, some kind of motion
Watch that boy, watch that girl
Something’s coming to change the world

They wait and watch for this to happen and then scrutinise your life
Thinking they have the right to judge, maybe they might
Realise that’s wrong, discover what’s right
Slow this moment down and pull it all apart
Look at how it ended and just try to change how it starts
There’s just too much damaging hearts

Afraid of what they see though they don’t know what it is
Not spent enough time to know there is a name for this
It’s only love, it’s only life
And it’s only right
People watch open mouthed, amazed
Truth is they’re worried, maybe they’re the same
Just cos’ there’s a soul in me that feels it strong
Don’t take out your emptiness on me and tell me that it’s wrong

They wait and watch for this to happen and then scrutinise your life
Thinking they have the right to judge, maybe they might
Realise that’s wrong, discover what’s right
Slow this moment down and pull it all apart
Look at how it ended and just try to change how it starts
There’s just too much damaging hearts
