Paroles de Big Stupid Heart

There's a smile on my face and I'm not saying it's a lie But it's only the front page of a book where someone dies And I can't really explain it but somewhere along the line I started feeling all my feelings at exactly the same time And I'm an optimist by trade and I choose to see the light But if I'm honest I need breaks to rub the darkness from my eyes You call it naivete I simply call it survivin My mental frame it wasn't made to sustain all of this violence Being alive being alive I think its killin me 'Cause I feel everything Each little part Being alive being alive I think its killin me 'Cause I feel everything With this big stupid heart With this big stupid heart I'm drawn to innocent spaces like a moth to something bright And I live for the conversations where the tears fill up my eyes But I crash hard into the pavement when I'm abruptly reminded That part of the human nature has an evil deep inside it And I'm an optimist by trade and I choose to see the light But if I'm honest I need breaks to rub the darkness from my eyes You call it naivete I simply call it survivin My mental frame it wasn't made to sustain all of this violence Being alive being alive I think it's killin me 'Cause I feel everything Each little part Being alive being alive I think it's killin me 'Cause I feel everything With this big stupid heart With this big stupid heart
