This is, ah, called "Where was your heart"
Which is a new number, before a ten-minute interval
Don't grab
You're time-wasting again
Biting your nails like you were 16
Putting up your little walls when emotion's around
Leave your little heart in the lost and found
Your friends would die laughing if they saw you this way
Even though they cry the same tears every day
Where was your heart when you needed it most?
Hand-in-hand with your innocence gave up the ghost
But, it doesn't do to tell you're at your best when you're giving hell
Just put on your hard face, you know you do that so well
Thank God you wore your waterproof make-up today
And who gives a damn about him anyway?
To him you're a body, and to hell with the mind
But, you get the same stick from his type all the time
Just a couple o' drinks and they've got you tonight
And you know, the sad thing is that they're often right
And where was your heart when you needed it most?
Hand-in-hand with your innocence, it gave up the ghost
And where was your heart when you needed it most?
Hand-in-hand with your innocence, it gave up the ghost
They take hold of your heart and they spit it right out
Make a show of their conquest when their friends are about
Your ego deflated, you gave up the fight
And became the good-time-had-by-all every night
No comfort of beds or the softness of sheets
Just the back of a car, sprawled across the backseats
And he'll just not give up till he's messed up your head
A dish in the disco, but a pig in the bed
So, you build up a false love affair anyway
Photocopy soap opera stories all day
Where it all ends up fine and it all ends in church
And the girl looks like you and she never really gets hurt
And where was your heart when you needed it most?
Hand-in-hand with your innocence, it gave up the ghost
And where was your heart when you needed it most?
Hand-in-hand with your innocence, it gave up the ghost
And where was your heart when you needed it most?
Hand-in-hand with your innocence gave up the ghost
And where was your heart when you needed it most?
Hand-in-hand with your innocence gave up the ghost
Gave up the ghost
And where was your heart when you needed it most?
Hand-in-hand with your innocence, oh, it gave up your ghost
Where was your heart?
Where was your heart?
Where was your heart?
Hand-in-hand with your innocence
Hand-in-hand with your innocence
Hand-in-hand with your innocence
Hand-in-hand with your innocence
Oh, it gave up
Oh, it gave up
And where was your heart when you needed it most?
Hand-in-hand with your innocence, oh, it gave up the ghost
Thank you, sweetheart
