"Machine Heart" lyrics

I pushed and pulled it
I let you do it too
Like it was metal
Like it was bulletproof
I forgot to cry when I was sad
I forgot to fight when I was mad
I made the moves that others would approve
But it ain't calculated
It ain't by the rules
And you can hate it, baby
But it's gonna do what it's gonna do, yeah

I don't have a machine heart
Can't tell it to stop
No button to push to start
You'll see it break
You'll see it fall apart
Cause I don't have, I don't have a machine heart
No, a machine heart

I kept it quiet
But now you'll hear it scream
Cause good or bad or right or wrong
It's finally found its beat
And it ain't calculated
It ain't by the rules
And you can hate it, baby
But it's gonna do what it's gonna do, yeah

I don't have a machine heart
Can't tell it to stop
No button to push to start
You'll see it break
You'll see it fall apart
Cause I don't have, I don't have a machine heart (a machine heart)
A machine heart (a machine heart)
A machine heart (a machine heart)
A machine heart (a machine heart)

I won't always get it right
But hey ain't that just life?
At least you're getting something real
I won't always get it right
But hey ain't that just life?
I want it bad, wanna feel

And cause I don't have a machine heart
Can't tell it to stop
No button to push to start
You'll see it break
You'll see it fall apart
Cause I don't have, no I don't have a machine heart (a machine heart)
A machine heart (a machine heart)

I pushed and pulled it
I let you do it, too
I let you do it, too
I pushed and pulled it
I let you do it, too
I let you do it, too

But I don't have a machine heart
No I don't have a machine heart
