Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

But you won't see me fall apart
'Cause I've got an elastic heart
I've got an elastic heart
Yeah, I've got an elastic heart

Sing it again — final chorus

But you won't see me fall apart
'Cause I've got an elastic heart
I've got thick skin and an elastic heart

i'veelasticheart
