[Intro] Oh, you left the door half-open And I walked straight through [Verse 1] You pinned my promise to the kitchen wall Beside the receipt from the corner store I found your blue coat by the telephone Still holding the shape of you when you were gone I stirred two sugars into your cup Then watched the coffee cool itself back up The clock kept chewing on the afternoon Every little minute tasted like you [Pre-Chorus] I said I’m fine, but the mirror knows My brave little smile has a crooked pose If love’s a card, you dealt it marked Now every ace leaves another scar [Chorus] I’ve got a punctured heart, baby Leaking all over the floor I tried to tape it shut, baby But it keeps beating for more Oh, you took the best part And left me the dangerous part I’ve got a punctured heart, baby And it still opens when you knock on the door [Verse 2] Your record skips where you used to laugh I let it spin through the better half The neighbor’s cat still waits by the gate Like it knows you’re coming, just running late I wore your ring on a Tuesday night Not on my hand, just under the light Held it up where the dust could shine And blamed the room for missing you mine [Pre-Chorus] I told my friends I had changed my tune Then sang your name in the empty room The band in my head struck a crooked spark And every note found the tender mark [Chorus] I’ve got a punctured heart, baby Leaking all over the floor I tried to tape it shut, baby But it keeps beating for more Oh, you took the best part And left me the dangerous part I’ve got a punctured heart, baby And it still opens when you knock on the door [Bridge] If you come back, come back honest No silk words and no borrowed keys Bring the truth in a paper pocket And leave the rest with the memories [Break] Punctured heart Still beating Punctured heart Still needing [Final Chorus] I’ve got a punctured heart, baby Leaking all over the floor I tried to tape it shut, baby But it keeps beating for more Oh, you took the best part And left me the dangerous part I’ve got a punctured heart, baby But I’m not dying for you anymore [Outro] No, I’m not dying for you anymore Close the door, sweetheart I know what my heart is for
