Lyrics

Mechanics of the Heart

[Verse 1]

Symptoms of being scared

Feeling cold, feeling lonely on your own

I can feel this fear getting stronger

It's taking over, I'm losing control

[Pre-Chorus]

And if you are not religious

Then how will you ever believe?

And when I don't know procedures

Then how am I meant to proceed

[Chorus]

To mend your heart?

To mend your heart?

To mend your heart?

To mend your heart?

I try my best to operate on you, ooh, ooh

Tryna learn the mechanics of the heart

[Verse 2]

Broken-hearted, torn apart

What was left on the floor

Has been smashed into pieces

First she hurt it, and then she deserted

But I'm trying to save it

Before your heart ceases

[Pre-Chorus]

And if you are not religious

Then how will you ever believe?

And if I don't know procedures

Then how am I meant to proceed

[Chorus]

To mend your heart?

To mend your heart?

To mend your heart?

To mend your heart?

I try my best to operate on you, ooh, ooh

Tryna learn the mechanics of a heart

I try my best to operate on you, ooh, ooh

Tryna learn the mechanics of a heart

I try my best to operate on you, ooh, ooh

Tryna learn the mechanics of a heart

I try my best to operate on you, ooh, ooh

Tryna learn the mechanics of a heart

To mend your heart

To mend your heart

To mend your heart

To mend your heart
