Elastic Heart

    Artist: Sia

    And another one bites the dust

    Oh why can I not conquer love

    And I might have thought that we were one

    Wanted to fight this war without weapons

    And I wanted it, I wanted it bad

    But there were so many red flags

    Now another one bites the dust

    Yeah let’s be clear, I’ll trust no one

    [Pre-chorus]

    You did not break me

    I’m still fighting for peace

    [Chorus]

    I’ve got thick skin and an elastic heart

    But your blade it might be too sharp

    I’m like a rubberband until you pull too hard

    I may snap and I move fast

    But you won’t see me fall apart

    ’Cos I’ve got an elastic heart

    And I will stay up through the night

    Let’s be clear, won’t close my eyes

    And I know that I can survive

    I’ll walk through fire to save my life

    And I want it, I want my life so bad

    I’m doing everything I can

    Then another one bites the dust

    It’s hard to lose a chosen one

    [Pre-chorus]

    You did not break me

    I’m still fighting for peace

    [Chorus]

    I’ve got thick skin and an elastic heart

    But your blade it might be too sharp

    I’m like a rubberband until you pull too hard

    I may snap and I move fast

    But you won’t see me fall apart

    ’Cos I’ve got an elastic heart

    Background

    “Elastic Heart” is a song by Australian recording artist Sia featuring Canadian recording artist The Weeknd and American producer Diplo, taken from the soundtrack for the 2013 American film “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.” While including some interesting and engaging electropop synths and beats, this song has lyrics like something a student would write for poetry class.
