The World Can Have My Heart Now

Verse 1 I never thought I’d feel the sunlight Come down gentle on my skin I was living in the shadows With no way to let love in Turned my face up to the heavens Cried until the stars went dim Begging for a sign of something Begging just to breathe again Pre-Chorus Then you reached through all the silence Found the places I had sealed You didn’t force the door wide open You just showed me I could heal Verse 2 I used to flinch at every kindness Like it carried hidden pain I built walls around my spirit Just to keep out all the rain But you sat beside my thunder Never asked me to pretend And somehow in your patience I remembered love’s a friend Pre-Chorus I know it took some time to soften I know I fought the light at first But my heart kept growing wider Through the healing and the hurt Chorus Now I’m learning to trust again Letting my heart unfold again After all the storms I’ve weathered I can feel the warmth begin You helped me find my breath again When I was gasping in the dark Now this broken, guarded woman Has a world inside her heart Bridge And maybe I’m ready To let my voice be heard Maybe all this pain in me Can turn into a bird Maybe what was buried Wasn’t meant to stay alone Maybe love can find me And still let me be my own Final Chorus I’m learning to trust again Letting the sunlight touch my skin I don’t have to run from feeling I don’t have to disappear within You helped me find my breath again Now I can stand beneath the sky With my heart expanded open And my soul no longer hiding from life Outro I lost hope once in the darkness But I’m not who I was then The world can have my heart now I’m learning to trust again
