Giving Out

The things I loved the most

Turned out to go so wrong

And then chagrin set in

My fate a rough-hewn song

The bad moves never stopped

Of this the truth is stout

And here's the brutal news

My heart is giving out

The things I tried to do

Did not last very long

And then life went awry

My flaws a pounding gong

The damage has been done

Of this there is no doubt

And here's the simple truth

My heart is giving out
