lyrics

Heartstrings
(John Wheatley and Donald Wheatley)

If you got nothing to say why say anything
If I hear another song about the mountains, the trees and the birds it ain’t happening
But don’t get me wrong because I’m guilty of letting my brain get in the way of things
It don’t got to be so complicated
You’re playing on my heartstrings, heartstrings baby

Busy being no one most my life
Just might do something
Don’t make a sound you just might give yourself away

I’ve been seduced by the devil just to shut him up
I don’t got the time to be faithless
I’m under your spell and its a miracle we got out alive
And I’m sorry, there’s no easy way to say the truth of it
With so many layers of your bullshit
Gotta stop playing on my heartstrings, heartstrings baby

Busy being no one most my life
Just might do something
Don’t make a sound you just might give yourself away
Guilty innocent minds made up mine
I just cant do nothing
Don’t make a sound you just might give yourself away

When the sun gets to shining you forget about the rain
Forget about the rain
When you’re done with the crying we forget about the pain
We forget about the pain
We got this good thing going
Don’t look back and don’t look down
We got this good thing going
Why would anybody wanna stop us now?

Busy being no one most my life
Just might do something
Don’t make a sound you just might give yourself away
Guilty innocent minds made up mine
I just cant do nothing
Don’t make a sound you just might give yourself away
