Victims of the Modern Heart

Face to face We watch and wait While the fire burns the fuse In suspense up against The defenses that we use Lazy smiles sultry styles And the weapons that we choose Face to face, eye to eye Staring out across the lines Hand to hand here we stand And try to fight it one more time Face to face in the dark We give in to what we are We fall in love We fall apart Victims of the modern heart Is it you? Is it me? Who will be the one deceived? We conspire with desire Both afraid of what we need Stand or fall we build the walls Cause we've all been casualties Face to face, eye to eye Staring out across the lines Hand to hand here we stand And try to fight it one more time Face to face in the dark We give in to what we are We fall in love We fall apart Victims of the modern heart Sooner or later somebody surrenders Love is a traitor that gets us in the end Stand or fall we build the walls Cause we've all been casualties Face to face, eye to eye Staring out across the lines Hand to hand here we stand And try to fight it one more time Face to face in the dark We give in to what we are We fall in love We fall apart Victims of the modern heart.
