[Verse 1]
Look at him run
Shoes full of mud and blood
Breath like broken glass
Laughing at every cut
He’s chasing a door that’s locked
Face in the mirror
Cracks
Every promise on his back
Like knives in a canvas sack
[Chorus]
Heart of gold and razor blades
He keeps loving till it breaks
Every hug
A hidden grave
Every kiss
Another ache
Heart of gold and razor blades
He can’t stop
He can’t be saved
Giving love that comes too late
Heart of gold and razor blades
[Verse 2]
Hands still smell like smoke
Names carved into his bones
He’d die to keep you warm
You’d sell him for a phone
He’s bleeding in slow motion
Eyes like a loaded gun
You swear you never meant it
Then twist the barrel
Run
[Chorus]
Heart of gold and razor blades
He keeps loving till it breaks
Every hug
A hidden grave
Every kiss
Another ache
Heart of gold and razor blades
He can’t stop
He can’t be saved
Giving love that comes too late
Heart of gold and razor blades
[Bridge]
Warrior in a paper crown (hey!)
Covered in your pretty lies
Every time you cut him down
He still stands up
Asking why
[Chorus]
Heart of gold and razor blades
He keeps loving till it breaks
Every hug
A hidden grave
Every kiss
Another ache
Heart of gold and razor blades
He can’t stop
He can’t be saved
Loving you through all the pain
Heart of gold in acid rain
