How To Neglect Your Heart

They laugh at me, I'm all alone
They question me in jagged tones

They try to tell me what's true
And what's not true
As if they knew, as if they knew

They tell me how to feel
They tell me what I'm worth
They tell me how I've failed
All in their own words

They tell me how to love and how to get along
Passion's all right as long as it's not too strong

Here's how you play the game
Here's how you play your part
Here's how you go along
Here's how to neglect your heart

Fixed life
Like the stars
Never moving, never far
