Temporary Heart Lyrics

[Verse 1: Austin & Zion]
Hang me out to dry with all your clothespins
Heart was on the line like all your close friends
I wish I woulda' seen where this was goin'
I wish I woulda' known before it hurt
Said that you'd be cheerin' in the bleachers
Instead your only focus was demeanor
My mama told me she can't wait to meet ya
I just wish I woulda' known before it hurt

Go!

[Chorus: Brandon]
Circles and circles, I'm runnin', I know I won't get too far
I'd be lyin' if I said that I didn't mind that you left me scarred
And now everything we were before is nothin' but a memory
I'll give anything in exchange for this temporary heart

[Post-Chorus: Brandon]
For this temporary heart (Oh-oh)
But it's temporary

[Verse 2: Edwin]
Sitting here, I'm thinking 'bout confessin'
Never really one to learn my lesson
I let you be the center of attention
I let you be the center of my world
Now every time I close my eyes, all I see is you
I just wish I woulda known before it hurt
Go!
[Chorus: Brandon]
Circles and circles, I'm runnin', I know I won't get too far
I'd be lyin' if I said that I didn't mind that you left me scarred
And now everything we were before is nothin' but a memory
I'll give anything in exchange for this temporary heart

[Post-Chorus: Brandon & Zion]
A temporary heart, oh
Woo!
For this temporary heart
But it's temporary

[Outro: Nick, Brandon & (Zion)]
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good for me
Say you love me, but don't wanna be with me
'Til I find love again all that's left of me, baby
Is this temporary heart
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good for me
Say you love me, but don't wanna be with me
'Til I find love again all that's left of me, baby
Is this temporary heart, oh
For this temporary heart, oh
(But it's temporary)
(Woo!)
For this temporary heart
But it's temporary
(Hang me out to dry with all your close friends)
(Hang me out to dry with all your)
(Hang me out to dry with all your)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Despite having fourteen released tracks prior to Phases being dropped, “Temporary Heart” is only the third break-up track by PRETTYMUCH. In 2018, the boys went through their fair share of break-ups, with all members but Zion ending a relationship during 2018.

When a fan asked band member Brandon Arreaga, who is the only PRETTYMUCH member writer on the track about the content of the song on Twitter, Brandon simply replied with “it’s personal.”
