Here Lies My Heart

written by: Sarah McLachlan

Lyrics

Just as I thought it was over
I knew it long before the time
And I would fall back into silences
Brooding each final line
‘Cause I don’t wanna be part of the silly games you play
And I refuse to be lead on
By all your problems that lead us into illusions
Believing that nothing is wrong

Here lies my heart,
Here lies my soul
These are my dreams, you can’t take them away
Here lies my heart,
Here lies my soul
These are my dreams, you can’t take them away

I want to see the way I used to see
All of those memories I can lose
‘Cause all my thoughts are lost
Lost in a turnstile
And shaken and surely confused
I need to get back all those feelings lost in time
Of a place where I can be my own
Oh my heart is aching for something to show me the way to go

Here lies my heart,
Here lies my soul
These are my dreams, you can’t take them away
Here lies my heart,
Here lies my soul
These are my dreams, you can’t take them away

All that I need is the will to survive
And the love, for all that is true
And if I’m strong and I hold on tight
I know it’ll be alright
And I will come back to you

Here lies my heart,
Here lies my soul
These are my dreams, you can’t take them away
Here lies my heart,
Here lies my soul
These are my dreams, you can’t take them away
