Lyrics
It takes a lot to move on when you find what you want
But it won’t let you hold it
It takes a lot to let go what you got when it shows
That it won’t give you roses
I will act fast the day I ask your faith and you turn away now
I will be gone before you, long before this, song implores you
But I’ll always be soft in the middle
I’ll always be soft yeah
But either way I don’t feel pretty or seen
So before I start to pick myself apart
I’ll leave this place and I’ll take with me
All the spinning sparks of a broken and open heart
It takes a lot to have faith that the fire will rage
And be fine if it breaks you
It takes a lot to have hope when the devil you know
Is the best that you came to
And out of the flames you forge a sacred sword to wage this war you
Out of the rain you rise a raging tide to face this fire,
And of course I’ll be dried up a little
Of course I’ll be dried up
But either way I don’t feel pretty or seen
So before I start to pick myself apart
I’ll leave this place and I’ll take with me
All the spinning sparks of a broken and open…
Hea-art
An open hea-art
It takes a lot to be wrong though, lot to be humbled, lot to let fun go
It takes a lot to be strong to, not to hold on to, love when it harms you
But out of the verses, out of the curses
Out of the mess it’s an open heart
Out of the mercy, fire if it burns me
Out of the wreck it’s an open
And of course I’d be fine if you came to,
Of course I’d be fine yeah
But either way I don’t feel pretty or seen
So before I start to pick myself apart
I’ll leave this place and I’ll take with me
All the spinning sparks of a broken and open
(I’ll leave it open)
An open heart
(I’ll leave the cold in)
An open
(I’ll leave it open)
An open heart
