It's not the things that I can't change that bother me

And it's not the things that I don't know that undermine me

It's not the things that I can't hold or

The balancing wire that broke that throws me

It's not the fact that you walked out that bewilders me

It's not the sleep that I can't steal that wires me

It's not the coffee or the pills, it's not

This space that I can't fill that kills me

Well in case you didn't know I've got a heart made of chrome

It's been bent 'til it was twisted

And in case you didn't know I've got a heart made of chrome

That's been burned but it's still willing to try

It's not the drunk's snare device that provokes me

And it's not the politics of love and

Distance and all that shit evokes in me

It's not the Sunday morning fights or this soul on ice that numbs me

And it's not the passing of another Indian summer that saddens me

It's not the shudder and the undertow that bears down on me

It's not everything ending as it begins or

The loneliness that grins that destroys me

Well in case you didn't know I've got a heart made of chrome

It's been bent 'til it was twisted

And in case you didn't know I've got a heart made of chrome

That's been burned but it's still willing to try
