How To Neglect Your Heart

They laugh at me, I'm all alone

They question me in jagged tones

They try to tell me what's true

And what's not true

As if they knew, as if they knew

They tell me how to feel

They tell me what I'm worth

They tell me how I've failed

All in their own words

They tell me how to love and how to get along

Passion's all right as long as it's not too strong

Here's how you play the game

Here's how you play your part

Here's how you go along

Here's how to neglect your heart

Fixed life

Like the stars

Never moving, never far
