She was the promise that you would've sworn And no matter what you say, it's never gonna come back

Artist- The Pains of being pure at heart
Song of the day- Heart in your Heartbreak

Even though I immediately loved this band's name and knew I would instantly relate to their music having my own long list of all the pains that come with being pure of heart, jamming out to their new album at my friend Blake's house sealed the musical deal. It's a nice mix of enough rock, enough angst, enough retro throwback, enough dorkiness, and enough dancyness to please this pure heart. I especially enjoyed today's song as it captures that interesting feeling you get when it completely feels like your world is falling apart, no longer will be the same, but to everyone else around it's business as usual. And as my own personal catastrophizer in my head, I'm way too familiar with this feeling. So if you're having one of those everything is crashing down around you but no one sees moments, this one's for you and your pure heart.



Take a look around when you're going down
Cuz you'll never feel so high
As when you hid in her arms in the sky and the world slept

And there's no use to say just how much it kills
When it still kills all the same
Every thought of her name like a hand to an open flame

Chorus
She was the heart in your heartbreak
She was the miss in your mistake
And no matter what you take,
you're never going to forget
She was the tear in a rainstorm
She was the promise that you would've sworn
And no matter what you say,
it's never gonna come back

An ambulance goes by, and you wonder why
It never stops when you want it to
It never stops when you need it to take you away

And your friends don't understand that the world could end,
And it would feel no worse than this
Every thought of the look in her eye
Like a cold California sky

Chorus
She was the heart in your heartbreak
She was the miss in your mistake
And no matter what you take,
you're never going to forget
She was the tear in a rainstorm
She was the promise that you would've sworn
And no matter what you say,
it's never gonna come back

And no matter what you pray,
It's never gonna take the pain away
And even if she'd stay you know it's wrong
And no matter what you pray,
it's never gonna take the pain away
Cuz even if she'd stay, you know she's gone
