  • There, there is a heart in here
    Where, where is the heart in here
    Down to the river to silence me
    Love took me down to the river to silence me
    Love took me down to the river to silence me
    Love took me down to the river to silence me
    Love took me down to the river to silence me
    Love took me down to the river to silence me

    My love took me down to the river to silence me
    And when he left, I could not speak
    I lay on the ground, I tried to scream
    But no sound did come out, I could only bleed blue
    I waited for him til the frost did come
    My skin, it turned blue and my body was numb
    But my heart, it burned out til there was no more
    Still I wait on the ground, I don't know what for
    There, there is a heart in me
    Where, where is the heart in me

    This love's killing me but I want it to
    So long you're gone just like I always knew
    But I'm still here waiting for you
    Here, waiting for you

    My love took me down to the river to silence me
    And when he left, I could not speak
    What he said to me, I can never say
    Because it's breaking my heart til this very day
    There, there is a heart in me
    Where, where is the heart in me

    This love's killing me but I want it to
    So long you're gone just like I always knew
    But I'm still here waiting for you
    Here, waiting for you

    Down to the river to silence me
    Love took me down to the river to silence me
    Love took me down to the river to silence me
    Love took me down to the river to silence me
    Love took me down to the river to silence me
    Love took me down to the river to silence me
    Love took me down to the river to silence me
    Love took me down to the river to silence me
    Love took me down to the river to silence me
    Love took me down to the river to silence me
    Love took me down to the river to silence me
    Love took me down to the river to silence me

    There, there is a heart in me
    Where, where is the heart in me

    This love's killing me but I want it to
    So long you're gone just like I always knew
    But I'm still here waiting for you
    Here, waiting for you
    Here, waiting for you
    Here, waiting for you Writer/s: MY LOVE TOOK ME DOWN TO THE RIVER TO SILENCE ME
