Styrofoam Heart Written by Ben Levin and Courtney Swain
I gave her a fake smile, she threw me a real frown Styrofoam heart buried in the ground I asked her how she felt, she told me she didn't know When the water rises high, where will she be, who will I hold
Everything is crumbling, decaying, falling apart We let this happen in the first place We were fragile from the start Aliens in our own skin Strangers in our neighborhood Hope the last two people on earth will
Love each other; love each other like no one could Love each other; love each other like no one could
I wrote her a letter on laminated paper A dripping mess of marker all around And when she opened the message and just could not read it She stormed outside and threw it on the ground
Everything is crumbling, decaying, falling apart We let this happen in the first place We were fragile from the start Aliens in our own skin Strangers in our neighborhood Hope the last two people on earth will
Love each other; love each other; love each other like no one could Love each other; love each other; love each other like no one could
She dug up my cold white heart and dropped it in my hands She looked away from me and said she didn't understand How could I hide this for so long I kept it here for years I let it rot beneath our feet, suppressing all my tears She put out her cigarette and reached for another Styrofoam heart in my hand, melting in the sun _______________
