"My Cleveland Heart" lyrics

"My Cleveland Heart"

I'm going to make a few changes right away
The way I leap and the way I fall
The way I need somebody else's eyes to see me
The way I need anyone at all

But I expect the real changes to start
When I finally get my Cleveland Heart
They're made to take a bashing
And never lose their passion

They never break, they don't even beat
And they don't ache, they just plug in and shine
Don't make mistakes, and they don't know defeat
Like my heart makes, like this broken heart of mine

I've been walking that broken line between
The way life is and the way it seems
I've been stranded on that endless straightaway
Between the truth and my wildest dreams

But I will no longer need to tell them apart
When I've finally got my Cleveland Heart
They just keep on hoping
And stay so big and open

They never break, they don't even beat
And they don't ache, they just plug in and shine
Don't make mistakes, and they don't know defeat
Like my heart makes, like this broken heart of mine
