Heartless

If you want to kiss me,
Kiss me
I'm sure I'll enjoy the way you taste

Just don't expect my heart to beat

Don't worry, love.
If you press your ear to my chest
You'll probably hear a steady rhythm
I've filled the gap as best I can
With a composite
Of blood vessels
And nerve endings

My heart?

No, love.
It's not that I've never had one
I just gave it away
To a girl with bright, pretty eyes

She took it with her, you know
Over six thousand miles away
Where it probably picked up
A fine coating of sand
And the smell of gunmetal

Where?

I don't know, love.
I'm not really sure where it is now
Collecting dust, maybe
In a shoebox under a bunk
With an old letter
And a photograph

And sometimes, I think it gives a little flutter
When that girl smiles
Because I always loved her smile best of all

But if you want to hold me,
Hold me
I'm certain I'll fit right into the crook of your arm

And if you want to touch me,
Touch me
I've no doubt you can make me feel good

Just don't wait for my heart to beat

Because I think I might be heartless.
