The Heart's Duty
What I do
What I did
Has nothing to do with
Any of you
It stems from my own failings
Failings as a son, brother
Friend, lover
I could not hide these from myself
Perhaps to any of you I could
We'd meet
We'd have connections
These are but on the surface
They do not run deep and
Never have
I cannot hide these failings
From the watchful eye
I have tried
I have tried
What I did
Has nothing to do with
Any of you
It stems from my own failings
Failings as a son, brother
Friend, lover
I could not hide these from myself
Perhaps to any of you I could
We'd meet
We'd have connections
These are but on the surface
They do not run deep and
Never have
I cannot hide these failings
From the watchful eye
I have tried
