Heal Your Heart

[Verse 1]
I saw it on your face
That hard little wall
Like you were bracing for a fight
Before the first word falls

Your eyes were full of storms
Your hands were clenched so tight
I knew the hurt was living there
Beneath the need to bite

[Pre-Chorus]
And I stood there wishing
I could reach inside
Pull out every thorn
And give you back your light

[Chorus]
I want to heal your heart
Heal your heart
I want to heal your heart
Before it falls apart
If I could take your fear
Take your fear
I’d carry it away
Till love came clear

[Verse 2]
The room got cold with words
That never should have grown
Each sharp thing passed around
Like it had a place to own

And I just watched you burn
In the shape of yesterday
Hating like a wound
That never got away

[Pre-Chorus]
And I stood there wishing
I could reach inside
Touch the broken places
And make them soft tonight

[Chorus]
I want to heal your heart
Heal your heart
I want to heal your heart
Before it falls apart
If I could take your fear
Take your fear
I’d carry it away
Till love came clear

[Bridge]
Maybe rage is only grief
With nowhere left to go
Maybe every closed-up door
Was a place that hurt you so

So let me be a hand
Let me be a flame
Something small and human
That calls you by your name

[Final Chorus]
I want to heal your heart
Heal your heart
I want to heal your heart
Before it falls apart
If I could take your fear
Take your fear
I’d carry it away
Till love came clear

Heal your heart
Heal your heart
I want to heal the world
One open heart
