Half The City Lyrics - Half The City - St. Paul And The Broken Bones

Oh this poor and lonely heart 

It is made of pure steel 

And you can't let it cry 

At the point of this dream 

I populated half the city, child 

But I still can't find no love 

Somebody has to heal me 

Oh from up above 

There ain't no way that I could stay 

And breathe air, oh breathe air 

There it goes her heart that holds me 

Closely, so closely 

No I can't let it die 

This hope I feel 

Oh the city's made me cry 

But I still can't leave her 

The streets are paved with pain 

Of ??? 

Please don't let it die 

'Cause I ??? 

There ain't no way that I could stay here 

And breathe air, oh breathe air 

There it goes her heart that holds me 

Closely, so closely 

I know that it's time 

For this city of mine 

To just crumble down 

And let me hold it, let me hold it 

Let me, let me hold it 

All you got to do 

I know, I know this city's made for me
