Katie Buchanan - Why You Leave a Heart Lyrics

City feet don't fail me now
I put my year in wore my heels down
And if I'm not getting back to land
Well there better be a hand reaching out

The lies we let ourselves tell
The echo fiction word spell
Poetry is pointless if
If everybody notices the sell

But let's pretend, let's pretend
If only for a minute
That a heart is meant to bend
Until it finds someone to fit it
And I'm certain it could start
But how would it ever finish
And that's why you leave a heart
Exactly how you get it

City lungs don't fail me now
You're pretty young to exhale doubt
But when you're breathing dirty oxygen
You gotta find a way to get it out

But let's pretend, let's pretend
If only for a minute
That a heart is meant to bend
Until it finds someone to fit it
And I'm certain it could start
But how would it ever finish
And that's why you leave a heart
Exactly how you get it

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

But let's pretend, let's pretend
If only for a minute
That a heart is meant to bend
Until it finds someone to fit it
And I'm certain it could start
But how would it ever finish
And that's why you leave a heart
Exactly how you get it

But let's pretend, let's pretend
If only for a minute
That a heart is meant to bend
Until it finds someone to fit it
And I'm certain it could start
But how would it ever finish
And that's why you leave a heart
Exactly how you get it
