(whispering)
This is a fragile body 
it is made of flesh and bone
this is a fragile heart and
it is to be left alone

This is a barren body
it is made of wood and stone
This is a barren heart and 
it is to be left alone

Of course you can have my heart
I don't know how to use it anyway
I'll wrap it up in tissue paper
For you to keep it or throw it away

Throw it away
Throw it away
Throw it away
Throw it away

Of course you can have my heart if you want:
Just cut it loose and pull it out and leave
I'm glad if you take it away from me
This stupid thing caused me nothing but mischief

Caused me nothing but mischief
Caused me nothing but mischief
Caused me nothing but mischief

Of course you can have my heart, I beg you:
Just take it and bury it some place
And I'll press my ear to the ground
to hear its trembling sound
I will press my ear to the ground
to hear the muffled pounding
Die away

Die away
Die away
Die away

This is a fragile body 
it is made of flesh and bone
This is a fragile heart and
it is to be left alone

This is a barren body
it is made of wood and stone
This is a barren heart and 
it is to be left alone

This is a fragile body 
it is made of flesh and bone
This is a fragile heart and
it is to be left alone

This is a barren body
it is made of wood and stone
This is a barren heart and 
it is to be left alone

This is a fragile body 
it is made of flesh and bone
This is a fragile heart and
it is to be left alone

This is a barren body
it is made of wood and stone
This is a barren heart and 
it is to be left alone
