Nullabor Plain

Why is your heart so confused?
It's a child, it's easily bruised
You walk into rooms with a smile on your face
But the door just revolves and you're back in the same place
You fall in love like a flame
A flower that blooms and it dies the same day
You'd cut off your nose just to spite your own face
Shoot yourself in the foot if it meant she would stay

Why would anyone give their heart away?
Away

I break when I see you fold
You can be strong as houses, you're a tent in the cold
I ache when I see another great man fall

Why would anyone give their heart at all?
At all

So you're gonna cross the Nullarbor Plain
Return to dust and be born again
And if love is art, if tears are like paint
I hope you let them dry but don't leave it too late

Why would anyone leave their heart to fate?
To fate

Why would anyone give their heart away?
Away
Away
