If I Had a Heart
from the album: Slaid Cleaves - 'Ghost on the Car Radio'
The more I see, the less I understand
The harder I work, the poorer I feel
The deeper the faith, the more I'm broken
The more I hear, the less it all seems real
Then you come around
With your soft young skin
With no idea what you're about to step in
And in these times you remind me
Of the man I used to be
If I had a heart, you'd be breaking it now
I've seen hope rise, come crashing down again
Seen the bashing of brains, seen the city unwind
Seen the overthrow, of dictators and tyrants
Seen the gory mess, they always leave behind
Then you stop by
Talkin 'bout yer dreams
You see a world not yet ripped apart at the seams
And in these times you remind me
Of the man I used to be
If I had a heart, you'd be breaking it now
You'll see truth, turned into lies
Light turned to dark, hearts broke in two
Just one thing, before I die
I want to make one lie come true
The more I read, the dumber I think I am
The more money I make, the more they say I'll need
The farther I drive, the closer I am to where I started
The more I'm told, the less I tend to believe
Then you come around
With your soft young skin
With no idea what you're about to step in
And in these times you remind me
Of the man I used to be
If I had a heart, you'd be breaking it now
If I still had a heart, you'd be breaking it now

If you ever get the chance to see Slaid Cleaves live, do it! 🎶🎶🎸🎶😎👍🏽
Yes, definitely see him, but it's kind of like eating a can of Pringles, bet you can't go just once.... I'm in San Antonio, we love watching him at Sam's Burger Joint!
@@soulshine8281 I consider myself fortunate and blessed in that respect, having lost count of the times I've seen this maestro! :)
Having volunteered at a concert series which had hosted him every year, for many years, I had a distinct advantage in that, as well as being able to actually talk to him, help him unload the 'Blue Whale', have a big sit down dinner with him, Karen, and whoever was backing him up for that particular show, and make requests before the shows. ;)
I have also caught his local shows outside of our series as well though.
Few sing and perform with the heartfelt passion of this man, and it shows on this song (LOVE that stream thing for the video, it just works here!).
SO underrated singer/songwriter...outstanding
Really lovely.. Slaid is a class act - listening to his songs is like being immersed in a good book, great stories and characters.
Slaid is surely one of the most affecting songwriters and has such a sublime voice. This is a heartbreaker - he does that so well of course. Exquisite. He ought to be a MAJOR star.
I'm at the right age for this one to really hit home, and I am so grateful to Slaid for having written and performed it. Every time I listen, it's a highlight of the day.
whomever set this against the stream beautiful.... incredible synergy of pain and mournful winter stream that still keeps rolling
Really enjoy this song. As a veteran who's son is now active duty, this describes my feelings when he came to his mom and me in high school that he was going to join up.
Awesome and plaintive
Slaid nails it again
What a beautiful soul!
Awesome song man!!
Brother- you sure as hell can write!
I don't know how this video of a stream manages to be simultaneously hopeful and hopeless, biut damn, does it fit the song.
Who are the five dolts that look this up on RUclips and then click “dislike”?
Pretty moving song.
Perfect. Great job. Thank you 😊
WOW!!!
Very emotional song for me, and will now always remind me of 2020.
Thank you for writing.
I just discovered you!! Love your music ❤️❤️❤️
Below is my favoret song from you
Great song, fine lyrics, what else do you need?
here from Billions.
Very cool. Thanks for writing.
Billions brought me here
Damn Billions, where do you get this music from?
Direct from the source!
@@SlaidCleavesOfficial they have a good one, then 😄
Buy the fella a beer why don't ya? Talk him up at your coolest local venue and get him a booking. Invite him over to crash on your couch and feed him a good sandwich or whatever it is you folks eat around there. Troubadours can't tell your story as well as they can after they meet you.
If you wanna play along I put the chords here tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/slaid_cleaves/if_i_had_a_heart_chords_2466772
Well done!
