Clumsy Little Heart

Every Avenue · Picture Perfect [2009]

Swears she's okay

Don't need a witness to her feelings

She watches them escape, the good ones get away

Sew cut and paste

And the stitches of her feeling unraveling this way

Makes her feel ashamed



All around her people stare as she slowly falls apart

Picking up pieces of her clumsy little heart

It's hard to know where you're going

When you don't know where to start

But that's just life and that's the hardest part

That's the hardest part

Yeah, that's the hardest part



Spinning off track

Hit the red, or better, black

Try to make it pay

But it can never walk away

Staring at his hand like it somehow holds a future

Wondering what went wrong

Wrestling the odds



All around her people stare as she slowly falls apart



Picking up diamonds, spades, clubs, and hearts

It's hard to know where you're going

When you don't know where to start

But that's just life and that's the hardest part

That's the hardest part

Yeah, that's the hardest part



It's hard to know where we're going

When we don't, we don't know where to start

That's the hardest part

That's the hardest part

Yeah, that's the hardest part

That's the hardest part

Yeah, that's the hardest part



All around her people stare as she slowly falls apart

Picking up pieces of her clumsy little heart

It's hard to know where you're going

When you don't know where to start

But that's just life and that's the hardest part
