Implosion

Its a little bit old now,
Not what it used to be.
Its been broken and repaired so many times.
I can remember
When it was a novelty
Now everybody sees that it no longer shines.

The citys condemned it,
Declared it out of date.
Come Sunday morning theyll be blowing it apart.
Cause since you left me,
No need to hesitate --
Everybody come to see
Theyre gonna implode my heart.

Theyll be settin charges off in each artery,
Itll be hard to see
How much its hurtin me.
Ever since you contended
That youll only be my friend
Everybody gather round,
Theyre gonna implode my heart.

Maybe its a victim
Of a conspiracy,
Some competing hearts that want to see it die.
Or maybe its my fault
An act of lunacy
That has led us here today to say goodbye.

When the bombs are going off therell be a lot of cheers,
Some guy hawkin beers
And tacky souvenirs.
But just wait another day,
Theyll be givin stuff away.
You can get a t-shirt
Says I saw them implode his heart.

Therell be nothing left of me but an empty shell
Whats that awful smell?
Its my heart blown to hell.
Once they clean up the debris
Therell be nothing here to see
But a little marker reading:
Former site of a heart.

Whatever the reason,
Itll be history.
Therell be coffee table books to help recall
All of the good times
And some of the bad times, too
In those happy summer days before the fall.

Now the cops are clearing folks from the area
I wanted to marry ya,
Instead Im just scaring ya.
Ever since you contended
That youll only be my friend
Everybody gather round,
Theyre gonna implode it,
Cant watch, theyre gonna explode it,
Right now, theyre gonna implode my heart.
