  1. My mind is a warrior

  2. My heart is a foreigner

  3. My eyes are the color of red like a sunset

  4. I'll never keep it bottled up

  5. And left to the hands of the coroner

  6. Be a true heart, not a follower

  7. We're not done yet

  8. And I see it in your movements tonight

  1. If we should ever do this right

  2. I'm never gonna let you down

  3. I'll never let you down

  4. And I'm keeping on the down low

  5. And I'll keep you around so I'll know

  6. That I'll never let you down

  7. I'll never let you down

  8. You're strumming on my heart strings Like you were a grade 8

  9. But I've never felt this way

  10. I'll pick your feet up off of the ground

  11. And never ever let you down, now

  12. You're strumming on my heart strings Like you were a grade 8

  13. But I've never felt this way

  14. I'll pick your feet up off of the ground

  15. And never ever let you down, now

  16. My eyes are a river filler

  17. This drink is a liver killer

  18. My chest is a pillow for my weary head to lay to rest again

  19. Your body is my ballpoint pen

  20. And your mind is my new best friend

  21. Your eyes are the mirror to take me to the edge again, now

  22. And I see it in your movements tonight

  23. If we should ever do this right

  24. I'm never gonna let you down

  25. I'll never let you down

  26. I'll keep it on the down low

  27. And I'll keep you around so I'll know

  28. That I'll never let you down

  29. I'll never let you down

  30. You're strumming on my heart strings Like you were a grade 8

  31. But I've never felt this way

  32. I'll pick your feet up off of the ground

  33. And never ever let you down

  34. You're strumming on my heart strings like you were a grade 8

  35. But I've never felt this way

  36. I'll pick your feet up off of the ground

  37. And never ever let you down

  38. Hold my heart to stop me bleeding now, now, now

  39. And I'll never let you down

  40. Hold my heart to stop me bleeding now, now, now

  41. I'll never let you down

  42. Hold my heart to stop me bleeding now, now, now

  43. I'll never let you down

  44. Hold my heart to stop me bleeding now, now, now

  45. And I'll never let you down

  46. You're strumming on my heart strings like you were a grade 8

  47. But I've never felt this way

  48. I'll pick your feet up off of the ground

  49. And never ever let you down

  50. You're strumming on my heart strings like you were a grade 8

  51. But I've never felt this way

  52. I'll pick your feet up off of the ground

  53. And never ever let you down

Grade 8

My mind is a warrior

My heart is a foreigner

My eyes are the color of red like a sunset

I'll never keep it bottled up

And left to the hands of the coroner

Be a true heart, not a follower

We're not done yet

And I see it in your movements tonight

If we should ever do this right

I'm never gonna let you down

I'll never let you down

And I'm keeping on the down low

And I'll keep you around so I'll know

That I'll never let you down

I'll never let you down

You're strumming on my heart strings Like you were a grade 8

But I've never felt this way

I'll pick your feet up off of the ground

And never ever let you down, now

You're strumming on my heart strings Like you were a grade 8

But I've never felt this way

I'll pick your feet up off of the ground

And never ever let you down, now

My eyes are a river filler

This drink is a liver killer

My chest is a pillow for my weary head to lay to rest again

Your body is my ballpoint pen

And your mind is my new best friend

Your eyes are the mirror to take me to the edge again, now

And I see it in your movements tonight

If we should ever do this right

I'm never gonna let you down

I'll never let you down

I'll keep it on the down low

And I'll keep you around so I'll know

That I'll never let you down

I'll never let you down

You're strumming on my heart strings Like you were a grade 8

But I've never felt this way

I'll pick your feet up off of the ground

And never ever let you down

You're strumming on my heart strings like you were a grade 8

But I've never felt this way

I'll pick your feet up off of the ground

And never ever let you down

Hold my heart to stop me bleeding now, now, now

And I'll never let you down

Hold my heart to stop me bleeding now, now, now

I'll never let you down

Hold my heart to stop me bleeding now, now, now

I'll never let you down

Hold my heart to stop me bleeding now, now, now

And I'll never let you down

You're strumming on my heart strings like you were a grade 8

But I've never felt this way

I'll pick your feet up off of the ground

And never ever let you down

You're strumming on my heart strings like you were a grade 8

But I've never felt this way

I'll pick your feet up off of the ground

And never ever let you down
