Bleeding Heart

Jimmy was a boy who wanted nothing more in this world
Than to have someone that he could call his own
But he never seemed to have any luck
And so he thought that he would end up all alone

Well, Cali was the girl that you could only find in your dreams
But she was special, and sadly, she didn’t see
That Jimmy wanted her all to himself
So he put his bleeding heart back on the shelf

And Jimmy’s cinematic memory will
Never be the same
Because

Cali’s leaving for New York
So Jimmy’s packing his things
And he’s moving out to Vegas
They wanna make a new start
But they never really got a chance
To fill in all the pages
Because the letter in Jimmy’s mail
Cut the time they had almost in two
So now they’re a thousand miles apart
“So, doctor, can you fix what’s mine?
This bleeding heart”

So Jimmy’s bleeding on the inside and it
Isn’t showing any signs of letting up
And Cali’s falling asleep now
In the city where she can’t feel Jimmy’s love, oh no

Every day that passes by without her
Jimmy starts sinking deeper and deeper
He’s losing himself inside his mind
Because he knows he belongs inside her heart now

And Jimmy’s holding on to something
But it’s something he can’t explain
Because

Cali left for New York
So Jimmy packed his things
And he moved out to Vegas
They wanna make a new start
But they never really got a chance
To fill in all the pages, so now
Jimmy’s heart is colliding
With Cali’s heart
But now they’re fading
Maybe this story’s ending
Won’t be such a perfect one
With the bleeding heart

So now Jimmy’s on the brink
And he doesn’t know who to turn to now
And so Jimmy starts to think
“We’ll be together somehow”

Jimmy’s off to New York
He’s packing up his things
And is moving to the city
He’ll finally get his new start
And they’ll finally get chance
To fill in all the pages, and the
Lovers kept holding on because they
Knew just what was worth fighting for
Just keeping strong and carrying on
Even in spite of it all, it was
A bleeding heart

Cali left for New York
So Jimmy packed his things
And he moved out to Vegas
They wanna make a new start
But they never really got a chance
To fill in all the pages, and so
Jimmy finally got the courage
To chase his dreams and the one that got away
And now they finally have each other
And they owe all their thanks to
My bleeding heart
