Elastic Heart

Madilyn Bailey

And another one bites the dust
But why can I not conquer love?
And I might’ve got to be the one
Why not fight this war without weapons
And I wanted it and I wanted it bad
But there were so many red flags
Now another one bites the dust
And let’s be clear, I trust no one

You did not break me
I’m still fighting for peace

Well I’ve got a thick skin and an elastic heart
But your blade it might be too sharp
I’m like a rubber band, until you pull too hard
But I may snap when I move close

But you won’t see me fall apart
‘Cause I’ve got an elastic heart

I’ve got an elastic heart
Yea, I’ve got an elastic heart

And I will stay up through the night
Let’s be clear, won’t close my eyes
And I know that I can survive
I walked through fire to save my life
And I want it, I want my life so bad
I’m doing everything I can
Then another one bites the dust
It’s hard to lose a chosen one

You did not break me
I’m still fighting for peace

Well I’ve got a thick skin and an elastic heart
But your blade it might be too sharp
I’m like a rubber band, until you pull too hard
But I may snap when I move close

But you won’t see me fall apart
‘Cause I’ve got an elastic heart

Well I’ve got a thick skin and an elastic heart
But your blade it might be too sharp
I’m like a rubber band, until you pull too hard
But I may snap when I move close

But you won’t see me fall apart
‘Cause I’ve got an elastic heart
You won’t see me fall apart
‘Cause I’ve got an elastic heart

I’ve got an elastic heart
