Heartfist Lyrics

Chris Cornell

Love me to death cause I need the sleep
Ive been wide awake
She hit me with a hand of broken nails
It hurts to give
When my heart has had too much to take
Another blow
Another broken spell
And it hits so hard
Heart fist
Love me to the head and hurts too bad
Youre going all around
(I dont know why you can be so cold)
Oh yeah
It beats so hard into my chest
I prop my feet against the ground
(youve got to bite the hand that feeds you)
All right
Im going down so why put up a fight
Its gonna hit me
Its gonna hit me
Heart fist
Dont leave another bomb to blow my head
Its gonna hit me
Its gonna hit me
[chorus]
Love me to death cause I need the sleep
Ive been wide awake
She hit me with a hand of broken nails
It hurts to give
When my heart has had too much to take
And you know how to hit it
Heart fist
Heart fist
Heart
Heart fist
Into the way of pumping blood from me
Alive before I drown
(I dont know, how do you think so cold)
All right
You lure me to your bed of nails
And then hit me when Im down
(you gotta bite the hand that feeds you)
All right
Im going down so why put up a fight
Its gonna hit me
Its gonna hit me
Heart fist
Dont leave another bomb to blow my head
Its gonna hit me
Yeah, its gonna hit me
Heart fist
You love to hit me when Im down
And set me up again
(its like never getting up from a bad dream)
(chorus)
I feel the pain that brings me to the ground
I feel another fist begin to pound
Bleed everything and love into submission
Cause I will hit you like a heart condition
(chorus)
When it all adds up
You dont mean that much to me
Just another kiss to leave me when Im down
And it hits so hard
Yeah it hits so hard
