Rough Edges & Ragged Hearts

Rough Edges and Ragged Hearts

I’m starved for affection, don’t strive for perfection
Just someone to catch me, should I fall
The band’s finished playing, outside it’s still raining
I look around and there’s no-one at all

Rough edges and ragged hearts
Come together just to fall apart
Where living is a dying art
Rough edges and ragged hearts

My ears are ringing when I wake next morning
My phone in its cradle is silent as hell
But maybe this evening I’ll find redemption
Dancing with the demons that I know so well

Rough edges and ragged hearts…

I’ll wear my scars like a well worn dance floor
I’ll wear my hair up so I can stand tall
The music surrounds me like the arms of a lover
Just because my world spins, does it mean I must fall

Single file, ladies’ chain
Bend the line, promenade
Roll away, half sashay
You turn back, separate

Rough edges and ragged hearts…
