Heartless Child

I can see your face so clearly but you're dead behind that smile

The moon is creeping over a house twisted and vile

I reach for your hand but it stays where you stand

And it’s been there for awhile

My baby, oh whoa, is a heartless child

Remember when you used to love me, I know you always do

But the more I remind you of the things you can’t stand

It pulls the devil right out of you

Remember when you used to squeeze me, I know you always do

But the thrill of the catch is more than the kill

As long as it don’t kill you, don’t kill you

And you hide behind that doorway and pretend that you don’t hear

The water running in the bathroom, baby, and the drip-drop of my tears

A suicide note that I suspect you wrote saying,

“Shut the **** up my dear!”

My baby, whoa oh, is a Heartless Child
