"Any Other Heart" Lyrics

And this is my last remaining filter
On my last remaining words.
Just leaving the taste of something bitter on my tongue.
I'm leaving a ladder full of reasons
Along with a line that starts to blur
Into a page that says you faded away too young.

'Cause you're leaving something short of innocent.
I'm still thinking of the times we should've spent.
It says if this form of treason crawled up deep inside your head.
And left you notes on how to keep your insides dead.

If I had any other heart,
If any other piece spoke louder.
If I had any other hands,
I wouldn't need a voice
To tell the world about the coward that
Refuses to stand,
And claim no blood on your hands.
If I had any other heart beside my own,
We might've left you cold.

I'm handed a book about instructions
On when I should know to go.
And tracing my fingers down the binding,
I get cold.
'Cause I've been this awful cheater,
Lonely since your reasons left the room.
And I'd see everything you wanna,
If you decide to follow soon.

If I could paint the town with all your good intent.
I'd leave these walls as red as my eyes could've been.
I'm picking comfort for my father for a place to rest his head.
And Tallahassee will stay grey outside instead.

If I had any other heart,
If any other piece spoke louder.
If I had any other hands,
I wouldn't need a voice
To tell the world about the coward that
Refuses to stand,
And claim no blood on your hands.
If I had any other heart
If I had any other heart
Beside my own,

If I were king of the world
And I could build you a day
And smile just to rip it all away.
I want to place a memory in your head
That screams about regret.

If I had any other heart,
If any other piece spoke louder.

If I had any other hands,
If I had any other hands.

Oh God, if I had any other heart.
Woah if I had any other hands.

And you're still refusing to stand.
Reclaim the blood on your hands.
If I had any other heart.
If I had any other heart.
