Black Heart Red

What does black heart do when love is red

Looking for love in run down places
Quick one nighter but nothing lasting

What no one knows is the black heart has a soul
He doesn’t want to admit it

He lets nobody see it but he takes it out late at night
Looking for something deeper

Not getting any younger
Feelin lonely on this red heart day

See love all around but it doesn’t get
Deep in the black heart

Have a red heart near but she has no place in her life for my black soul

But this black heart can love and hold onto tight
Love of a fine woman

Thought I found the one

But after all this time I can’t keep denying
She used to want me but she can’t
Find her way home back to my black heart

If she finds her way back my black heart will
Turn red

If she finds her way back my black heart will
Turn beating red
