Half A Heart

[Verse 1]
Late at night
I feel so strange sometimes
I get bored when I’m alone
In this studio apartment
The walls are bare
My bed is cold
So I step down Rainier Avenue
Pick a six pack off the shelf
At the bar-windowed bodega
I want to feel like someone else
I’m no church raised boy
Left unemployed
In a rust belt county line
So fearful of what’s invisible
Feeling like he's left behind
At the bar
I’m trading insults
With someone looking for a fight

[Chorus]
I’ve got half a heart to take things
One step too far this time

[Verse 2]
He can’t change my mind
With his false news wisdom
We are not aligned
White knuckled fist
Bearing teeth and pissed
I get the gist
Walk away
And let it all pass by
I stumble home angry and broken
And sift through an old suitcase
Find some photographs of Brooklyn
A trip to Portland, Maine
I get stoned to bring my mood up
Raise my spirit from the dirt

[Chorus]
I have half a heart to call you
But I’m scared of getting hurt
I have half a heart to call you
But I’m scared of getting hurt
