[instrumental intro] [Verse 1] My heart is a muscle My emotion-heart too It works, it aches As muscles do. My emotional muscle I train it too With strain it grows As muscles do. [Pre-Chorus] Carry it open On your sleeve Locked up tight It breaks with grief. [Chorus] Train it slow, Train it light, A little stronger Every time. Heartache hurts, But so does growth, I'm building strength I didn't know. Train it slow, Train it wise, Take all risks With cautious eyes. I do not flee, I do not hide Despite the hurt Keep it open wide. (Mhh open wide) [Verse 2] One hour away from home Then move to another shore Once that is easy... Increase the distance more. I leave my friends, My chest gets sore, Same old ache, less than before. [Pre-Chorus] Some days it's too much, Some days it burns, But every setback Is a chance to learn. [Chorus] Train it slow, Train it light, A little stronger Every time. Heartache hurts, But so does growth, I'm building strength I didn't know. Train it slow, Train it wise, Take all risks With cautious eyes. I do not flee, I do not hide Despite the hurt Keep it open wide. (Mhh open wide) [Bridge] Not without scars, Not ignorant, An emotional muscle That learned to bend Not made of stone, Not made of steel, Still soft enough To feel and heal. [Final Chorus] Train it slow, Train it light, A little stronger Every time. If it hurts, It learns to mend, That's how the heart Gets strong again. Strong again, Strong again, Not because It never bends. Strong again, Strong again, Because it heals And tries again.
