Hook in My Heart~Guess this anchor's different/Doesn't come on in waves/It's a hook in my heart, trying to pull me away/From my life and my home, and the ones that I love/Over some tragedy, that I can't rise above//Don't think on it too much, but I almost caved/To the rich and the pretty, the pure and the saved/But I couldn't buy it, so I'm just the same/I guess I'll be leavin’, just as broke as I came//It's deep in my bones, this tome of white lies/Like I guess I'll go home, just call it a night/Like lately I, been doin’ just fine/I like it right here, no one’s by my side//Well I saw your bridges, condos, freeways and progress/And I saw your garden, full of hornets and regrets/I guess there's a few things, make you wanna lay down and die/Usually starts as a promise, just ends up as a lie//Well sometimes it scares me, just to give love away/Cause I tried it once, oh lord did I pay/I thought I could pull, those hooks from my heart/I just started bleeding, till I fell apart/It's deep in my bones, all wrapped in white lies/Like I guess I'll go home, just call it a night/Like lately I, been doing just fine/I like it right here, no one’s by my side//Guess this anchor's different/Doesn't come on in waves/Just a hook in my heart, tryin’ to pull me away/From my life and my home, and the ones that I love/Over some tragedy, that I can’t rise above...//
