When a heart skips too many beats,
When a heart skips too many beats,
When a heart skips too many beats,
I can't sleep, can't sleep.

You say you love me and the truth takes time.
Think I need some time away.
What kind of truth comes out of lies?
What kind of love comes out of pain?
And now my heart's too hot,
I can't start, can't stop.
I got no spark, no shot.
I can't breathe, can't breathe.

When a heart skips too many beats,
When a heart skips too many beats,
When a heart skips too many beats,
I can't sleep.

Never knowing
How you're feeling,
How much loving,
How much wheeler-dealing.

You say you want to be a friend of mine.
I think I have too many friends.
You say you want to make it last this time.
You know on whom it all depends.
And now my heart's too hot.
I can't start, I can't stop.

Need to know just where you're living.
What you're taking,
How much you'll be giving.

'Cause my heart keeps
Skipping a beat.

Instrumental break.

Can't please.
Don't please.
Can't sleep.
Can't leave.

Truth and passion melt with time.
Faith and reason on the firing line.
No more treason, no more lies.
Help me trust you,
Let me love you tonight.

When a heart skips (can't sleep),
When a heart beats (can't breathe),
When a heart beats (can't sleep),
Fade.
When a heart beats (can't breathe),
When a heart beats (can't sleep),
