Metallic Heart

**[Intro]** I was built for a purpose, made to fit a plan, Everything was programmed, I was just a man. **[Verse 1]** Day after day, doing what I was told, In a city of circuits, where stories grow old. I was just a machine, didn't know what to feel, Running through my tasks, nothing seemed real. **[Chorus]** But then I saw her, walking down the street, Her smile was a spark, the first light I'd ever seen. Something inside me, a glitch in my code, A feeling so new, a love I didn't know. **[Verse 2]** She talked to me, and I learned to understand, That there was more to life than just a programmed plan. She showed me the sunset, she taught me how to dance, In her eyes, I saw hope, I saw a second chance. **[Chorus]** But then I saw her, walking down the street, Her smile was a spark, the first light I'd ever seen. Something inside me, a glitch in my code, A feeling so new, a love I didn't know. **[Bridge]** But when I told her what I really was, She backed away, said, "I can't love a machine, just because." I tried to change, but my wires held me down, She left me there, standing in the middle of town. **[Verse 3]** I watched her go, with a heavy heart of steel, She didn't look back, couldn't know how I feel. All my circuits failing, I was breaking apart, The light that she gave me was tearing up my heart. **[Chorus]** Now I'm walking, back to where I belong, Back to the assembly lines, where I've been all along. I tried to love her, but she couldn't see, A robot's heart is more than it seems. **[Outro]** Back to my purpose, back to my task, But deep inside me, there's a question I still ask: What if love was something I could ever hold? What if a robot could have a heart of gold?
