A Billion Heartbeats
Why does it take a a tragedy to make Our true colours come out? We only feel the life in our limbs And a heartbeat beneath the skin When time is running out But there's love in pain And comfort in Suffering, feels familiar Just like a stranger's touch We've yet to trust Reaching out to feel Something real before We turn to dust Every human has a billion heartbeats So why do we lie and cheat till we're old And time is up on Earth? Every human has a billion heartbeats So why do we only speak In the cold silence between our words? Trapped halfway between wanting to be brave And feeling scared we'll only stand and stare What difference will it make picking up the pieces As another lonely heart breaks but don't despair?
