Devotchkas - The Wicked Heart lyrics

rate me

I was young and so naive

wearing my heart on my sleeve

and so I gave it to you

now left in pieces like broken jewels

you just up and left me here

for rot-gut gin and cheap beer

but I'm over crying and into fits

sad to see you go, you piece of shit

[Chorus:]

I have a wicked heart because of you

now hate is all that I can do

I have a wicked heart because of you

now hate is all I'll ever do

endless tears I cried for years

your endless bottoms of empty beers

smiling with your drink in hand

to think I once called you a "real man"

i was always 2nd best, but what could I do?

when you loved a bottle and I loved YOU

[Chorus]

it makes me sick to think I cared

knowing you were never there

and you'll go on, what will you be?

never again a part of me

with empty hearts and open hands

you will hold your tainted stance

remember me when you fall apart

because you gave me this wicked heart

[Chorus x2]
