What Happened to Your Heart (Bing & Ruth Rework – Part I)

What happened to your heart? Was it just faulty From the start? Sometimes I've wondered If you locked something up in there That gnawed and clawed At the most vital parts of your most vital organ Until bang! That thing just stopped working, stopped working So what happened to your heart? Did you see it coming, Grandpa? You must've known the family history Felt yourself as a branch of that tree Or maybe you thought you were different Was there something you could have done differently? It eats away at me, I would've loved to see See you with a happy heart Those ashes of yours scattered Into the atmosphere They break up so small To human eyes they disappear But maybe once they get that tiny They finally just get to do what they want What happened to your heart?
