lyrics

Sometimes in the evening, the morning is a memory,
The middle of the night can stare you down.
Is it the floor or the bed tonight?
You feel no protection any night.
The fan blocks that horrible silent sound.

But then you smile because you’ve given up.
And nothing breaks your heart anymore.
Untouchable and turning,
Believing that nothing breaks your little heart anymore.

The breaklights. The headlights. The icy drive ahead.
Your anger fluctuates from town to town.
Do you want to go where you’re headed?
No. But you’ve gotta.
This is the dream that keeps you writhing around.

There’s a little place by the river. You swore that you were with it.
And dammit you were happy there once or twice.
I too have left there smiling,
But once I left there bleeding,
Thinking of home and singing Edelweiss. (Edelweiss, Edelweiss, you seem happy to see me)

But then you smile ‘cause you’re not giving up.
‘Cause nothing breaks your heart anymore.
Untouchable and turning,
Knowing that nothing breaks your little heart anymore.
Knowing that nothing breaks your little heart anymore.
Knowing that nothing breaks your little heart anymore.
Nothing breaks your little heart.
