Closer To My Heart

Ratt

So, I'm just the medicine


You take when you're sick


You get well and that's it


I'm put back on the shelf in your mirror


And it isn't exceptional


The course of our fate


So, people love and they hate


And I guess it's just our turn to hate


Yeah, you were just some song I wrote


A poem on a page


A sculpture I made out of clay


Desire was the flame


But now you're more of a basketball


Boys just pass you around


They bounce you hard on the ground and dribble


And then we all get high fives


And you think I'm an asshole now


Well, you're probably right


But at least I'm not blind to the facts


I've been wishing were lies


But still I hope you get everything


That you care to possess


And unbelievable sex with him


Or any one of my friends


But just don't ask about my appetite


I didn't lose it tonight


No, it's been gone half my life


It's just act, I've been eating for you
