From the recording TAKE MY HEART
Lyrics
GOING DOWN
Maybe she was right
I wasn’t ready for the love
I wasn’t ready for the light
Maybe I’m too broken
I am cold and I am cruel
I am bastard
I am blight
Oh,
Ain’t nobody gonna touch this heart of mine
Too much resistance
Too much damage
Too much time…
Goin’ down
My love is goin’ down
There’s no denying
Goin’ down
There ain’t no rescuing,
There ain’t no use in tryin’
Ugly just gets uglier
Like blood under the skin
Begins to fester and to boil
Scratch those mother-fuckin’ accusations
Against love’s integrity
It’s like a flame to burning oil
Oh,
Ain’t nobody gonna break this heart of mine
Too man bruises
There’s no will left to be kind
Said it’s goin’down…
Oh,
Ain’t nobody gonna steal this heart of mine
Too much illusion
Much too deaf
Too dumb
Too blind
Goin’ down…
It’s goin’ down
Goin’ down…
It’s goin’ down
