Heart for Sale
[Verse 1]
I'm planning on selling my heart
I'm giving up every part
It's no longer open, it's no longer vacant
I'm planning on selling my heart

[Verse 2]
The pieces I'll put in a jar
I'll burn them and scatter them far
And wherever they land, there they'll grind into sand
The pieces they'll put in a jar

[Verse 3]
For the rest, I'll just put it on sale
Take a sign and some paint and a nail
One heart, slightly battered, but well worth the tale
For the rest, I'll just put it on sale

[Chorus]
I'm not surprised that it gave up the ghost
Like a soldier abandoning a long-held post
I'm not shocked that it quit, I just wanted to say:
It was good, it was strong, in its day
[Verse 4]
In the hole I'll plant roses in June
Hang a sign on the edge of the moon
Saying, "Sorry I loved you - it ended so soon."
In the hole I'll plant roses in June

[Bridge]
It's fine to abandon my heart
I never needed it anyway
And I can't get you out of my heart
And I never needed it anway

[Chorus]
I'm not surprised that it gave up the ghost
Like a soldier abandoning a long-held post
I'm not shocked that it quit, I just wanted to say:
It was good, it was strong, in its day

[Verse 5]
If you're in the market for hearts
Or in need of a second-hand part
I've no use for mine, I can get along fine
I'm planning on selling my heart
