if you are not hungry for love
you're probably full of yourself
know that the stars shine down above us through the night

and when I'm ready you'll come back
and shake me all up again
and I'll be stronger at the broken places then

beating in your chest is a blooming orchid
beating in your chest is a crying shame
beating in your chest is a heart worth dying for

I know she's not perfect in your eyes
but she is flawless in mine
and every time we #intertwine we reach the skies

and when I'm ready you'll come back
and shake me all up again
and I'll be stronger at the broken places then

beating in your chest is a blooming orchid
beating in your chest is a crying shame
beating in your chest is a heart worth dying for
