lyrics

There's dirt on your heart from all the low-down, dirty places you been
You dragged your poor heart through more than enough
And more piled up from every time you lied
And then kicked some dirt around to cover it up
And from every one that gave you her love
And you carelessly gave her back hurt
There's dirt on your heart,
You might think that it's art, it's just dirt
You might think that it's art

There's dirt on your heart that's hardened into a jacket
To hold you through the cold and friendless months
And you just never could bring yourself to crack it
Remembering how well it served it you once
But hearts that beat freely must surely be beaten
Only bloodied and scuffed ones arrive
And you believe that you need that dirt on your heart to survive
Do you think you need to survive this world?

There's dirt on your poor heart that's not your own
Your friends and your family tracked it around
And try as you might, you just can't always know
And remember to pick up all that you put down
And since you can't forget a mark on your heart
Even when the one who left it's long gone
There's some dirt on your heart that you'll have to scrub off on your own
It hurts, but you scrub it off
