Lyrics :

I broke into her house, saw her sitting there,
Drinking coke and whiskey in her bra and underwear
I saw him in the kitchen hanging up the phone
I asked him nicely once, to pack his things and go

He gave her a reassuring look and said he wouldn't leave
But I asked him one more time and this time pulled out my sheath
I struck him in the back and I pulled it out slow
And I watched him fall down,
And as the morning sun rose,

He looked at me and said
"You missed my heart, you missed my heart,
You got me good, I knew you would
But you missed my heart, you missed my heart"
Were his last words before he died

Looking out the window up at the blue sky
Listening to her scream, listening to her cry
A feeling of relief came over my soul
I couldn't take it any longer and I lost control

I chased her up the stairs
And I pinned her to the ground
And underneath her whimpering
I could hear the sirens sound

I rattled off a list with everything I missed
Like going to the movies with her
And the way she kissed me

Driving into downtown Wheeling
Showing her off the back yard barbecues
And reunions in the park

I said I missed her skin and she started laughing
And while I clinched down on her wrist
She said thats quite a list
But there is one thing you missed

You missed my heart, you missed my heart
That's quite a list, but what you really missed
You missed my heart you missed my heart x2

Running through the parking lot
Running through the fields
Policemen on my back
Something hit my skull and cracked

They dragged me off to jail set a million dollar bail
Where I tried to tie a noose but I failed and I broke loose
Were racing in through the prison yard,
Was shot down by a tower guard
He got me in the shins
And he got me in the arm

They strapped me in the gurney
Took me to the infirmary
Where the priest read my last rites
And just before everything went dark

I said you missed my heart, you missed my heart
He got me good, I knew he would,
But he missed my heart, he missed my heart
And just before, everything went dark

The most poetic dream came flowing like the sea
Lay in there my life but draining out of me
A childhood scene then, sky moon beams,
Fishing with my friends sitting in the wild lands

Watching the Ohio river flow at night
Waiting for the bullhead catfishes to come
Down river from the Moundsville prison graveyard x3
