[Verse 1] What’s the meaning of true love Is it wanting, is it the ache Or the hollow in your chest When you watch them walk away What’s the meaning of true love (true love ) When it falls apart in your hands When it fails, hearts break, bleed out we’re never who we were again [Chorus] So why be wide open When hearts are locked up tight Why keep on reaching To be loved in someone's light We long for true love Though it cuts both ways Maybe true love is courage To stay open anyway [Verse 2] Is true love the promise you keep Long after the feeling fades Is true love the shoulder you lend Even when your crying in the rain Could it be never feeling stranded when life has come undone. choosing to be kind When you got reason to turn and run [Chorus] So why be wide open When hearts are locked up tight Why keep on reaching To feel Loved in someone's light We all long for true love Knowing it cuts both ways Maybe true love is courage To stay open anyway [rap Bridge] It ain’t, it ain’t neat, but it’s love running deep Not the kind you fall into, the kind you choose to keep Not the spark, not the chase, not the rush in the meeting The kind that stays kind when the kindness is fleeting Patience in silence, gentle in the weight, Protection from violence, the enemy of hate, keeping a promise that time can’t erase Some call it weakness, but I call it grace [Chorus] So let's be wide open When hearts are locked up tight Let's keep on reaching To feel Loved in someone's light We long for true love Knowing it breaks, it saves true love is courage To stay open To stay open To stay open anyway I'll be open anyway
