[Refrain: Caroline Polachek]
If I’m already out of time, then make it worse
Go on and hit me in the heart, hit me where it hurts
If I’m already out of time, then make it worse
Go on and hit me in the heart, hit me where it hurts
If I’m already out of time, then make it worse
Go on and hit me in the heart, hit me where it hurts
If I’m already out of time, then make it worse
Go on and hit me in the heart, hit me where it hurts
