Garbage - Metal Heart lyrics

I wish I had a metal heart
I could cross the line
I wish that I was half as good
As you think I am

But now that we know for sure
They're telling lies when they say
No one gets hurt and therefore nobody dies
You know it's hard to believe
Anything that you hear
They say the world is round

I wish I was as big as you
You'd have to tell the truth
I'd be nothing you could hurt
Nothing you could use

But now that we know for sure
They're telling lies when they say
No one gets hurt and therefore nobody dies
You know it's hard to believe
Anything that you hear
They say the world is round
The world is round?

I want to be dependable
I want to be courageous and good
I want to be faithful so that
I can be heroic and true
I want to be a friend you can rely
On you can lean on and trust
I want to understand so I can
Forgive and be willing to love

I wish I wasn't flesh and blood
I would not be scared
Of bullets built with me in mind
Then I could be saved

My sweet lord take care of me
For I think I'm done
Kiss my mother on her cheek
And lay my burden down lay my burden down

But now that we know for sure
They're telling lies when they say
No one gets hurt and therefore nobody dies
You know it's hard to believe
Anything that you hear
They say the world is round
The world is round? The world is round?
The world is round?
