i find it incredibly rude that he asks to see inside her heart and then yells from high that her heart is a mess. bring a solution or fuck off

still one of the dopest songs that exists

*******************************
Pick apart 
The pieces of your heart 
And let me peer inside
 Let me in
Where only your thoughts have been 
Let me occupy your mind
As you do mine

You have lost
 Too much love
To fear, doubt and distrust
 (It’s not enough)
You just threw away the key 
To your heart
You don’t get burned
 (’Cause nothing gets through)
It makes it easier
(Easier on you)
But that much more difficult for me
To make you see…

Love ain’t fair
So there you are
My love

Your heart’s a mess
You won’t admit to it
It makes no sense 
But I’m desperate to connect 
And you, you can’t live like this


Love ain’t safe
You won’t get hurt if you stay chaste
So you can wait
But I don’t wanna waste my love

Hearts A Mess

I'll Take the Blame EP

Back in Your Head

I've received a number of messages in recent weeks regarding fellow SoundCloud users having their remixes of Somebody That I Used To Know removed from SoundCloud due to copyright infringement. My personal position is that I don't try to block unofficial remixes posted for online streaming providing they're posted for purely creative reasons and are not exploited commercially (eg: monetized on YouTube).

Under current laws the formal consent of the label and publisher/s is required for any use along these lines however, and as much as I would like to help everyone out to attain this consent, there are simply too many requests relating to remixes of this particular song and too many rights holders involved for me or my reps to assist with Soundcloud keeping them up.

Thanks for your understanding

Wally
