Heavenly

Hearts & Crosses

Album: This Is Heavenly [1995]

In every film she saw a girl never wanted more 

Than some cool boy to love and hold her tight 

She wasn't so naive to hope for Keanu Reeves 

But still she thought a boy could make things right 

How would it feel to hold someone real 

To whisper I love you and lean on his shoulder? 

How would her heart react to the part 

Where he puts his lips close to hers and he holds her 

He just holds her? 

Melanie, Melanie Melanie lies down to sleep 

With a head full of dreams and hatches up schemes 

Melanie Melanie Melanie plays make believe 

With a heart so enthused if never yet used. 

Well Melanie looked cool and soon she had quite a pool 

Of hopeful lovers swooning at her feet 

But only one stood out, the boy with the film start pout 

Was this the boy to make her life complete? 

Then one romantic day he took her hand and led her away 

He pushed her down, removed her clothes, and put his body closer than close 

He held her mouth when she tried to scream 

It was all so different from in her dream 

He never smiled, he never whispered 

He bit her hard, but never kissed her 

Why does it feel so horribly real 

When images of him float back into her mind? 

Why does her heart hurt most at the part 

When he gets up and disappears with no goodbye, with no goodbye? 

Melanie Melanie Melanie lies down to sleep 

With a head full of dreams, such horrible dreams 

Melanie Melanie Melanie plays make believe with a heart so confused

And feeling so used, no love left to lose
