Ballads of the Heart

[Introduction] [Verse - Male] Shove this boy into the river Maybe that'll make him grow Hardly noticed he was different At least not 'til it started to snow [Verse - Female] Why is he always pretending That I'm meaner than I am Everyone told me that he loves me But is that all I am? [Chorus - Female] What's the use in putting flowers on the grave What's the use in wearing all my mourning lace What's the use in singing ballads of the heart [Chorus - Male] What's the use if I knew it from the start That it won't change [Beat switch] It won’t change It won’t change Some things n-never change Other things do change Then it feels strange And you wish it would go another way-ay-ay-ay [Record skipping] [Verse - Male] What's the worst thing that could happen? How do I make sure that it does Some days I wonder if I'm nothing And some days I wish I was [Verse - Female] When the water came in Grayer than the skies Everybody sees you different But I see you alive [Chorus - Male] What's the use in putting flowers on the grave What's the use in wearing all my mourning lace What's the use in singing ballads of the heart What's the use if I knew it from the start What's the use in putting flowers on the grave What's the use in wearing all my mourning lace What's the use in singing ballads of the heart What's the use if I knew it from the start That it won't change That it won't change No it won't change Some things never ever change
