THIS HEART OF MINE,
IT’S YOURS TO KEEP,
I WEAR IT UP OUT ON MY SLEEVE,
YOU CAN USE IT ANY TIME YOU PLEASE.
THESE WORDS OF COMFORT,
PILLOWS OF PEACE TO REST YOUR HEAD ON,
AND GET SOME SLEEP,
WHEN YOU’RE WIDE AWAKE FROM SUFFERING.
AND MUMMA ALWAYS SAID I GOTTA USE THIS GIFT,
GOTTA GIVE ALL I GOT ‘TILL I GOT NOTHING LEFT TO GIVE,
YOU SEE THAT’S THE POINT OF LIVING.
SO HERE GOES NOTHING ‘COS THERE’S NOTHING TO LOSE,
I’M GONNA GIVE ALL I GOT IN DIFFERENT SHADES OF BLUE,
BUT I WILL NEVER STOP THE MUSIC OR THE SINGING.
CHORUS:
I’LL RAGE ON,
‘COS TODAY I’M HERE BUT TOMMOROW I’M GONE ,
AND I WILL NEVER SEE IT COMING,
I’M GONNA RAGE ON,
AND I PRAY FOR YOUR HEART TO STAY WARM IN THE COLD,
EVEN WHEN IT ACHES, WITH LONGING.
MY WORLD’S BEEN SHATTERED,
ITS YOUR HEAD THAT CRACKED IT,
THIS DREAM’S NOW A NIGHTMARE,
TELL ME HOW I’M GONNA FIX THIS IF,
OUR ROADS NOW A DEAD END,
STILL CAN’T BELIEVE YOU’VE BEEN TAKEN,
GOD KNOWS YOU WERE MY BEST FRIEND,
AND I KNOW YOU WERE A GODSEND.
BUT COME OUT, COME OUT,
WHEREVER YOU ARE.,
SURPRISE ME WITH A KISS,
OR A KNOCK AT THE DOOR,
‘COS I WILL FOREVER,
BE WAITING FOR SOMETHING.
YOU CAN HAUNT MY DREAMS EVERY NIGHT,
TELL ME STORIES OF YOUR BRAND NEW LIFE,
BUT I WILL NEVER STOP THE MUSIC OR THE SINGING.
CHORUS
