Taking the thick and the thin
Afraid to complain
No there's no use complaining
You know your hearts on a string

Hiding the feelings away
Scared to offend, dreading the ending
You know your hearts on a string

Try to pretend, try to pretend
You're in control
Try to deny, try to deny
You're under control

Waiting patiently through
The lack of affection returning the silence
Don't show your hearts on a string
Staying alone in the evening
Waiting for fate & hating the weakness
Don't show your hearts on a string

Try to pretend, try to pretend
You're in control
Try to deny, try to deny
You're under control

Heart on a string
Taking care not to break it
Heart on a string
Taking care not to shake it
Heart on a string just a twist
It could tear you apart

Heart on a string
Taking care not to break it
Heart on a string
So aware not to break it
Heart on a string just a twist
It could tear it apart

You won't complain
You won't complain
You won't complain

You'll take, you'll take the thick and the thin
You'll take, you'll take the thick and the thin
It's only a twist, only a twist and it's gone
Only a twist, only a twist, only a twist
Only a twist and you're gone

Heart on a string
So aware not to break it
Heart on a string
So aware not to shake it
Heart on a string just a twist
It could tear you apart

Heart on a string
Taking care not to break it
Heart on a string
So aware not to break it
Heart on a string just a twist
It could tear you apart
Just a twist it could tear it apart
