Beat for a heart

I've been told it's better
to build from the start
What used to be whole
but has fallen apart

I'm going to tell you
If it's true or not
'Cause I'm done with building my
Brand new heart

It may not be perfect
But it never was
At least it won't hurt
like the previous does

It won't be as strong
To beat for anyone else
This time I designed it
To beat for itself

Just where my heart used to lie
There is now a new device
Where I once could feel a beat
You'll just hear a clock machine

That it's only counting back
All the time I that I have spent
Giving pieces of my heart
Where a piece was not enough

There's nothing more
Where a heart used to be
Than just a little machine
With design of my own

It may not be as good as
The one it replaced
But they say it's easier
To build than repair

I've listened to them and
I tried on my own
To throw all the pieces
Of what used to be whole

If I can be whole
With machine for a heart
Why do I still try to fix
what has fallen apart

Just where my heart used to lie
There is now a new device
Where I once could feel a beat
You'll just hear a clock machine

That it's only counting back
All the time I that I have spent
Giving pieces of my heart
Where a piece was not enough

And now I am whole
With machine for a heart
That doesn't know anymore
How to beat for a heart
