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.
