Heart of the City

We stood. In an empty house.

With bottles in our hands against the wall

On the last night of the year,

the lights slowly started to fall

And you say, "this could happen for a reason"

How can you not have any faith

The beauty that surrounds us

it didn’t happen by mistake

In the heart of the city

Good hearts will break

Is this a test to see

How much we can take

You say you say that there’s an explanation

Oh, but it’s hard to see

I look to find salvation

In something more concrete

Because if, for the final destination

Is there either way

But should I receive an invitation

When it calls my name

In the heart of the city

Good hearts will break

Is this a test to see

How much we can take

In the heart of the city

My heart will break

Is this a test to see

How much I can take

In the heart of the city

Good hearts will break

Is this a test to see

How much we can take
