Description
A statement of purpose, a motto. Inspired by "Help Me Rhonda," a song I've always thought rose above its surface teen-rebound level to touch at something deeper: When we're hurt by love, we turn to love for healing. Why? See the chorus.
Lyrics
I have got no caution, I have no restraint, inside my little broken heart. So if my voice is cracking, if I sound a little faint, it’s just my little broken heart. I’ve always found it funny, when love spits us out on shore, We all go running back into the sea. With everything that’s happened, and with all I’ve seen before, It’s hard to say for sure there’s someone there for me. So why do I keep swimming, through the waves that drag me down? There’s one thing that I’ve known from the start: Being alone hurts so much more than any little broken heart. Once upon a time, I was so love-drunk on your charms, Following just like a dog for you. Now I’m love-hungover in the absence of your arms, But all I want is one more hair to see me through. I’ve always found it funny, when we run into the wall, And lose our sense of purpose, self and sound. You can always catch us hoping, even halfway through the fall, Someone catches us before we hit the ground. So why do I keep running, with a blindfold on my face… You still catch me by surprise, sometimes when I close my eyes, I still see you with your hand out and a smile. I realize That I’m remembering a fire, not even embers, long gone cold. A whisper in my ear, I’m too damn young to feel this old. But still I have no caution, never had restraint, inside my little broken heart. So if my voice is cracking, if I sound a little faint, it’s just my little broken heart. So why do I keep going when my head is caving in…
