Can't You Feel My Heart
Lyrics:
What ever happened to love and affection
What ever happened to the birds and the bees
What ever happened to natural selection
Why are you out to cut me off at the knees
I’ve only been with you for just about three weeks
Can’t you feel my heart beating with yours
I’m closer to you than anyone has been
I’m closer to you than your Ma and your Pa
My soul is clean and free from all sin
Ain’t been in trouble, haven’t broken no law
I heard a rumor that you’re sending them to get me
Can’t you feel my heart beating with yours
It might have happened with no one at fault
A change in plans left you with no time to spare
Might be a victim, you’ve been robbed from your vault
But can’t you find some mercy in a world so unfair
The one thing that you want is the only thing I own
So can’t you feel my heart beating with yours
I know it’s hard and it’s charged with emotion
I know you wonder about what I must feel
I know you’re fighting with a mother’s devotion
I know that sometimes you must think I’m unreal
It’s times like these that I wish that I could speak
Can’t you feel my heart beating with yours
I’m not asking you to stay always with me
I don’t see you as either good or bad
I’m only asking that you let me go free
I’m only asking for the same chance you had
I’m not talking about no morals or religion
Can’t you feel my heart beating with yours
I have no questions about a truth or a lie
I have no knowledge and I have no fears
I know you know whatever lives must then die
I have no smiles and I have no tears
I’m only guided by the will to survive
Can’t you feel my heart beating with yours
Everyday, I grow stronger
I hope I will last a little longer
It’s up to you, what do you feel
I hope I’m not about to have my last meal
In the end, will you pretend
That the package was never really sent
Oh it’s warm, but I feel harm
Won’t you save me
I cannot run and I cannot hide
Can’t walk away from the scene of the crime
I’m left here waiting for you to decide
Hoping that my innocence will save me this time
I might be forced to pay a debt that I don’t owe
Can’t you feel my heart beating with yours
I realize that you really do care
I realize you feel all alone
I realize sometimes it’s too much to bear
I realize I have no cross of my own
But please remember I’ve been with you from the start
Oh can’t you feel my heart beating with yours
Whatever happened to anticipation
Whatever happened to a life of your own
Why must we face disintegration
Why must we have such an unhappy home
There is no light at the end of this tunnel
Can’t you feel my heart beating with yours
I hope you know when you make up your mind
I will be grateful for all that you gave
My love remains past the end of the line
It won’t matter if I’m lost or I’m saved
You may be weak or strong but always forgiven
Can’t you feel my heart beating with yours
