DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL LYRICS - Carve Your Heart Out Yourself

"Carve Your Heart Out Yourself"



Carve your heart out yourself

Hopelessness is your cell

Since you've drawn out these lines

Are you protected from trying times?



Man it takes a silly girl to lie about the dreams she has

Lord it takes a lonely one to wish that she had never dreamt at all

Oh look now, there you go with hope again

Oh, you're so sure I'll be leaving in the end



Dig a ditch deep enough

To keep you clear of the sun

You've been burned more than once

You don't think much of trust



Man it takes a silly girl to lie about the dreams she has

Lord it takes a lonely one to wish that she had never dreamt at all

Oh look now, there you go with hope again

But I'll be sure your secret is safe with me

Oh, you're so sure I'll be leaving in the end

Treating me like I'm already gone



But I'm not, I will stay where you are always

I will stay, I will stay, I will stay (all of now)

[repeat to fade out]
