    Lyrics

    There's dirt on your heart from all the low-down, dirty places you been
    You dragged your poor heart through more than enough
    And more piled up from every time you lied
    And then kicked some dirt around to cover it up
    And from every one that gave you her love
    And you carelessly gave her back hurt
    There's dirt on your heart,
    You might think that it's art, it's just dirt
    You might think that it's art

    There's dirt on your heart that's hardened into a jacket
    To hold you through the cold and friendless months
    And you just never could bring yourself to crack it
    Remembering how well it served it you once
    But hearts that beat freely must surely be beaten
    Only bloodied and scuffed ones arrive
    And you believe that you need that dirt on your heart to survive
    Do you think you need to survive this world?

    There's dirt on your poor heart that's not your own
    Your friends and your family tracked it around
    And try as you might, you just can't always know
    And remember to pick up all that you put down
    And since you can't forget a mark on your heart
    Even when the one who left it's long gone
    There's some dirt on your heart that you'll have to scrub off on your own
    It hurts, but you scrub it off
