A fairly straightforward music video mashup. Woo-hoo.  

Lyrics (KT Tunstall/Trent Reznor):
Well my heart knows me better than I know myself, 
so I'm gonna let it do all the talking.
I built it up, now I take it apart. 
Climbed up real high now fall down real far.
I felt a little fear upon my back
He said "Don't look back, just keep on walking."
I put my faith in God and my trust in you
now there's nothing more fucked up i could do.

Wish there was something real, wish there was something true
But I said no, you're not the one for me
Wish there was something real in this world full of you
But I said no, you're not the one for me

I'm the one without a soul, 
I'm the one with this big fucking hole.
But I cut some cord, and I shouldn't have done it,
And it won't forgive me after all these years.
Gotta listen to your big time hard line bad luck fist fuck
Now it won't come back, 'cause it's oh so happy
And now I've got a hole for the world to see (everyone)

Big black horse and a cherry tree
I can't quite get there 'cause my heart's forsaken me
