Every little beat of your heart, you get a little closer to me 
 You’ve never been so happy since I’ve been around 
 I don’t want to tear your world apart 
 But that’s how it’s going to be 
 Your head’s in the sky but I’m underground 

 [bad word] slow to me 
 Silence sees thee 
 But the world spins ’round and ’round 
 My heart is breaking 
 The mess I’m making 

 Every little beat of your heart 
 You’re painting a picture of me 
 You put me on a pedestal I can’t climb down 
 Every little beat of my own takes me further from you 
 [bad word] out of heaven and I’m closing down 

 There’s an actor in this town 
 And he follows you around 
 He gets his lines right every time 
 But his heart is breaking 
 He’s tired of faking 

 Every little beat of your heart 
 You’re painting a picture of me 
 You put me on a pedestal I can’t climb down 
 Every little beat of my own takes me further from you 
 [bad word] out of heaven and I’m closing down.
