Carve Your Heart Out Yourself Lyrics

Carve your heart out yourself
Hoplessness is your cell
Since you've drawn out these lines
Are you protected from trying times

Man it takes a silly girl to lie about the dreams she has
Lord it takes a lonely one to wish that she had never dreamt at all

Oh look now
There you go with hope again
Oh you're so sure
I'll be leaving in the end

Dig your ditch deep enough
To keep you clear of the sun
You've been burned more than once
You don't think much of trust

Man it takes a silly girl to lie about the dreams she has
Lord it takes a lonely one to wish she had never dreamt at all

Oh Look now, there you go with hope again
But I'll be sure your secrects safe with me
Oh you're so sure
I'll be leaving in the end
Treatin me like I'm already gone

but I'm not
I will stay
where you are
always

I will stay
I will stay
I will stay
I will stay
I will stay
I will stay (oh look now, there you go)
I will stay (oh look now, there you go)
I will stay
I will stay (oh look now, there you go)

I saw Chris play this weekend in Geneseo, it was incredible. My absolute favorite band EVER

"I'd rather be dreamless than dream of you"

Chris really hits too close to home sometimes.

I play this cd in this order: 4-3-7-9-10-11-2-5-6-13. I left out 'Hands Down' because it fits better on 'So Impossible'. But anyway, give this spin a try.

This is such a well written song because Chris is saying basically, "Stop expecting me to hurt you and break your heart". (which is why he goes on to say "I will stay...etc"). And I think this is just a great song because it's kind of an eye opener because "You've been burned more than once...you don't think much of trust" And so he is saying that she has been hurt before so she is afraid to love and she's so sure that he will hurt her. But in reality, that's the last thing he wants to do..
