What Happens When the Heart Just Stops Lyrics

[Verse 1]So what happens when the heart just stopsStops caring for anyoneThe hollow in your chest dries upAnd you stop believing[Verse 2]So what happens when the heart gives upBut the body goes on livingThe blood crawls to a slow and stopsAnd flows away[Chorus]Well we got no one to meetNo love we would beseechWe only have ourselves to blame for everythingThere was no answer in the dustAnd I'm missing you so muchAnd now you're sleepingAnd I'm leaving[Verse 3]Empty-handed waitingTime it will subside and we'll agreeIt was a givenWell there was no standard we could setAnd the world it does regretTo have to leave you in this state of bereavementYou might also like[Interlude]You see I'm feeling everythingNothing gets by[Bridge]There is a hollow in my chestThe time I won't forgetThere is no comfort in the eyesThat put us always to the testI can't prepare myself for thatBut I work it out in timeThere is a love that flows between usEver-changing everydayI worked myself up to a crawlBut I'm not fearing it at allWe have no reason left to stayAnd that's why we're leavingAnd there was no answer in the dustAnd the one I feared to trustThere is a lie that drags usBeating and pulling into disappointmentI'm disappointedI'm disappointedI'm disappointed[Outro]It's so lateTill you're goneEmbedCancel

How to Format Lyrics:

• Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
• Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
• Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
• Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
• If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
