Lyrics

Prepared

[Verse 1]

It hardly even matters

What I used to think

I've lost that sense of balance

The thoughts keep opening up

To how I used to see you

Before I proved a fool

I can still feel your hand in mine

[Chorus]

I prepared my heart for you

I prepared my heart for you

[Verse 2]

It's not your imagination

The hidden melody

Beneath the pretty surface

All bruise and injury

Encoded for protection

From polite society

Have you never let yourself fall apart?

[Chorus]

I prepared my heart for you

I prepared my heart for you

I prepared my heart for you

Ending here so soft and cruel

[Outro]

Worthless love

Worthless love
