about

This song is about that moment just before one risks trusting another and opening themselves up to potential heartbreak.

lyrics

I knew it from the very start
You strolled right in and took my heart
Was nothing i could ever do
To stop this train of black and blue
The time is coming when we'll part

Be still my ever beaten heart
Oh oh oh
Be still my ever beaten heart
Oh oh oh

I knew I had to let you in
A balladeer out on a limb
A one hit wonder has been
A rock n roller with thin skin
Afraid to finish what he starts

Be still my ever beaten heart
Oh oh oh
Be still my ever beaten heart
Oh oh oh

Easier to fake it
Harder to lay your sword down
Harder to make it
Easier is lost than found
Tethered to the other
Tethered to the underground

And now that everybody knows
The emperor he wears no clothes
Another tortured restless soul
A fateful choice made long ago
The time is coming, so let’s stop

Be still my ever beaten heart
Oh oh oh
Be still my ever beaten heart
Oh oh oh

Be still my ever beaten heart
Oh oh oh
Be still my ever beaten heart
Oh oh oh
