HEART MURMUR

I musn`t feel too deeply or my heart might break
I was a stocky athletic bully
Until this pivotal point of change
Preferring the rough and tumble
To this academic game
If they had let me play football
I would have developed in a different way
I musn`t feel too deeply or my heart might break
It was a life of introversion that became my destiny
I musn`t feel too deeply or my heart might break

It was a life of another version
It was a step into depression
In my dark basement
I ran my own school
Studying yoga and meditation
And the finer points of music
It was a misdiagnosis
But it served the deeper truth
It was a life of introversion that became my destiny
I musn`t feel too deeply or my heart might break

I was twelve years old
Had a heart murmur I was told
And then a decade later
A doctor told me they were wrong
It`s actually mytrol valve prolapse
And there`s no need for concern
But the direction was already set
The impression already burned
It was a life of introversion that became my destiny
I musn`t feel too deeply or my heart might break
It was a life of introversion that became my destiny
I musn`t feel too deeply or my heart might break
I musn`t feel too deeply or my heart might break
I musn`t feel too deeply or my heart might break
