Hole in Your Heart

How can you live With a hole in your heart Or a chasm in your soul? How can you go on Waking up every morning Looking in the mirror Knowing that the healthy figure You see Is a deception? How can you go To the doctor every year Knowing you've got a problem He can never fix With medications And home remedies? How can that doctor Help you if You've got a Hole in your heart? And what can you do? Can't just sit there And let it be noticed Because the world will hate you. But if you put on Those extra layers of padding Trying to hide it From their eyes... Sooner or later Your secret will get out And they'll know They'll tell They'll try to explain it away And smooth it over. They'll say you're making A mountain out of a hill And ask why you're doing this. And there's no way out. So as the hour Grows increasingly late, I leave you With a simple question. What can you do When you've got a Hole in your heart?
