Slapstick Heart - Sam Phillips

Painted smile but i don’t feel the part

In dream i hold your kinfe over my heart

The edge is higher the closer i get

When i jump you move the net

I keep falling for this slapstick heart

Hanging on your words

I thought i’d known

The rope is cut and i’m falling on my own

The comedy in the tragic disbelief

Of only human

To make you laugh is there nothing i won’t do Any pain i won’t go through

Lost my balance fell like rain

I half expected you to do the same

But you cried an ocean and broke my fall

That’s when i knew i couldn’t swim at all
