Unbreakable

I can’t believe they’re selling his heart at the sea
They drew a line
around his jeans as he smiled
Gold, despite the truth, can lose its worth
And the wind can take from shore
Restless he is all the more

I can’t believe they’re selling his heart at the sea
The dock man says be weak and you will fail
Oh, they waited so long to be adored
But the the anger and mother’s fear…
as she quickly hid away her tears
from the old man
who never learned to break his burn

I can’t believe they’re selling his heart at the sea
It looks so weak, it looks so cheap
just left there to dry
Hold the line, go back in time
please tell them who he’ll be


Perfectly wrapped in his silhouette
as he combs his crest
and smokes his Chesterfields
He’s looking oh so good
and the neighbours say they saw him fall
but he never broke
He’s unbreakable
And the old man, stares from shore
struck by the day he wanted more

Does he want want more
the unbreakable?

I can’t believe they’re selling his heart at sea
It looks so meek, did it look to him
when she broke down?
Hold the line, go ahead in time
tell her who he’ll be

How come a heart so strong
has never dealt?
But maybe it’s not up to you
to make it melt

To you, unbreakable
