dog eared heart
©1999 mike kitka

i'm afraid
i lost a piece of myself
a little piece of myself
and it's gone forever

i'll never see it again
that little piece of myself
another piece
of my dog eared heart

and though it's tattered and torn
all that matters
that it beats

it may be threadbare and worn
but it still beats

i can say
i've seen a side of my self
another side of myself
that was lost forever

i'm in a state of decay
and i'm about to defray
another piece
of my dog eared heart

chorus

another day
i'll tell a lie to myself
i live and die for myself
and be lost forever

i think i'm about to relay
my very last communique
from the depths
of my dog eared heart

chorus
