A Borrowed Heart

I can live without my dignity, 
I'll survive when we're apart, 
But please give back to me this day, 
My bleeding borrowed heart. 

I never said you could keep it forever .......... 

You act as if nothing's happened, 
You're a fool to continue this farce, 
I've given up trying to reason with you, 
Give it back is all I ask. 

It doesn't mean anything to you anyway .......... 

You've not answered any letters, 
I wrote to you last week, 
What made you think you had the right, 
My borrowed heart to keep. 

Please I implore you, give it back ............. 

You can sit in your tower laughing, 
All night for all I care, 
But if you don't return it to me real soon. 
Then Lestat, listen to me ... beware! 

I'll find you in the daylight hours ............. 

While your hiding in your chambers, 
Asleep in death's repose, 
I'll sneak in and get back my heart and yours, 
And you'll never again transpose. 

Well, two can play this game you know! .................
