Tell me everything that happened
Tell me everything you saw
They had lights, inside their eyes
They had lights, inside their eyes
Did you see the closing window
Did you hear the slamming door?
They moved forward and my heart died
They moved forward and my heart died
Please please tell me what they looked like
Did they seem afraid of you?
They were kids that I once knew
They were kids that I once knew

I can say it but you won't believe me
You say you do but you don't deceive me
It's hard to know they're out there
It's hard to know that you still care
I can say it but you won't believe me
You say you do but you don't deceive me
Dead hearts are everywhere
Dead hearts are everywhere

Did you touch them
Did you hold them
Did they follow you to town?
They make me feel I'm falling down
They make me feel I'm falling down

Was there one you saw too clearly
Did they seem too real to you?
They were kids that I once knew
They were kids that I once knew

I can say it but you won't believe me
You say you do but you don't deceive me
It's hard to know they're out there
It's hard to know that you still care
I can say it but you won't believe me
You say you do but you don't deceive me
Dead hearts are everywhere
Dead hearts are everywhere
I can say it but you won't believe me
You say you do but you don't deceive me
It's hard to know they're out there
It's hard to know that you still care
I can say it but you won't believe me
You say you do but you don't deceive me
Dead hearts are everywhere
Dead hearts are everywhere

They were kids that I once knew
They were kids that I once knew
Now they're all dead hearts to you
Now they're all dead hearts to you
They were kids that I once knew
They were kids that I once knew
Now they're all dead hearts to you

"This song is beautiful beyond words. My heart aches every time the female singer says, 'They were kids that I once knew.' You don't even need to know what it means, whether she's referring to people who've changed, lost their innocence or their youth or just their desire to really live, or to people who've died. The real art is the feeling it creates inside of you, that reminiscent element that brings with it a faded kind of memory of something that used to be so real and alive." -TheEmerald1198

"I don't think this song is about dead people... I believe it's about people that have died on the inside. When you grow up, you often lose yourself. It's kind of like dying...while still being alive.
So I think that the female is singing about her old friends and the time they used to be 'alive'" -sladurska

This song has been featured in Chuck, Like Crazy, Degrassi, and apparently should have been in The Hunger Games.

[Rubina Luna]

I think it fits perfectly to the hunger games..

[AegisCreator]

I'm a silent guy who never shares feelings and easily shuts down, yet disturbingly arrogant and looking down.

This song made me straight up cry.

[1727Hammer]

like crazy was a pretty beautiful representation of realistic love hey? good movie but a little depressing

[maddie003752able]

This song just hits right in the feels.

[Alam Punk]

[sweder terlingen]

it is such a sad scene

[pineappleagent1]

what happens in the movie?

[345GIRLZRULE]

not a hate of mean comment but more inspirational.

I read a thing somewhere on the internet and it was something like this:

When life gives you problems, don't say "Why me?" Say, "Try me!"
